"What Causes a Purple Moon? NASA isn't 100% sure what causes a purple moon, but the organization suspects it's "a combination of several effects," like location in the night sky and particles in the atmosphere. For example, a red moon usually appears closer to the horizon line, and a blue moon usually occurs when there are more dust particles in the sky. Theoretically, you can combine the two factors and get a purple moon."
