Lunar Eclipses
Shockingly, the moon turns marronish brown in a lunar eclipse. It's not something you see every day! There are many other eclipses in this world. It's very unique that only two to four times a year a full moon is just in the right position for its orbit to go through Earth's shadow so we can see a lunar eclipse from earth.

It's because of the dust and other pollutions that are in Earth's air.
