A lunar eclipse is an eclipse of the moon that occurs when the Moon passes through the Earth’s shadow.
A lunar eclipse happens when the Earth moves between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on its surface. This can happen only during a full moon when it’s time for a new moon to occur.
The solar eclipse is one of nature’s greatest spectacles. It can be seen anywhere in the world as long as you have clear skies and you’re not too far from where it happens.
