The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and awesome Day of the LORD.
Joel 2:31, Berean Standard Bible

Here God announces cosmic signs: the sun darkened and the moon turned to blood, language the prophets often use for upheaval in the created order before God acts.
