^^^^ appears to be ignoring two of our bounties. It says there's one now, though there are three. Earlier in the week, it indicated zero when there were two.
 
@IsaacMoses Yeah, I know of the criticism, and yes, I'm aware that lunar eclipses on Jewish holidays are not really a rare occurrence because they're set on full moons. The author of that article missed something though: all four total lunar eclipses in this tetrad are on Jewish holidays, and that is indeed rare.
The significance is rightly contested. For instance, there was no such coincidence around the time of the Holocaust, quite arguably an event that deserved such a warning.
 
> “If there’s one on Sukkot, then there’s a very high chance that there will be one on Pesach,” said Schnittman, noting that the holidays are exactly six months apart.

“There’s been a lot of hubbub about ‘Four Blood Moons’ in a row,” he added. But once the plane of the orbits of the moon and earth are aligned so that an eclipse occurs, “it’s actually quite reasonable that you are going to get them again every six months for the next couple of years before the cycle moves a little bit out of alignment.”
 
@IsaacMoses Still a rare occurrence. Eight times out of 2000 years.
In large part because there are a lot of almost-tetrads where one of the eclipses is very close to being total, but it's just barely a partial eclipse.

@scimonster Definitely a duplicate. — sabbahillel 2 hours ago
@sabbahillel Maria is Jewish, but the author of the other question was not. Why do you think the questions are the same? — Shokhet 4 mins ago
