Is it true that the Moon can appear red during a total lunar eclipse?

Yes. Multiple reference sources, including NASA and National Geographic, state that during a total lunar eclipse the Moon appears dark red or orange because sunlight filters through Earth's atmosphere. A 1899 newspaper account also records a red tinge during a total eclipse.
