- While other types of Lunar Eclipses can be viewed in wide regions of the earth the part of the eclipse that is Total is viewable is a much smaller region. The same can be said for the duration of the Eclipse.

General Astronomy/Print version A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes directly behind the Earth into its umbra (shadow). This can occur only when the sun, Earth and moon are aligned (in  syzygy ) exactly, or very closely so, with the Earth in the middle. Hence, a lunar eclipse can occur only the night of a full moon. The type and length of an eclipse depend upon the Moon's location relative to its orbital nodes. A total lunar eclipse has the direct sunlight completely blocked by the earth's shadow.

- When are this year's solar and lunar eclipses? February 10: A penumbral eclipse will be visible from North America tonight, as the Moon passes through the Sun’s outer shadow. The shadow is so faint, though, that most skywatchers won’t notice it. February 26: An annular solar eclipse will be visible across parts of the southern hemisphere.

Lunar Eclipse Lunar Eclipse. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth's shadow falls on the Moon, and a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's shadow falls on the Earth. A look at the geometry of Moon phases would make it appear that a lunar eclipse should happen at every full moon and a solar eclipse at every new moon. This does not occur because the plane of the Moon's orbit is tilted 5.2° with respect to the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun (the ecliptic plane).

When Is the Next Lunar Eclipse & Super Blood Moon? But it will be awhile before a total lunar eclipse of any kind can be seen from Earth. According to NASA, the next total lunar eclipse will be on January 31, 2018, and will be seen in Asia, Australia and North America. Penumbral lunar eclipses will occur on March 23, 2016, September 16, 2016, and February 11, 2017.

- A Total Lunar Eclipse occurs at night with the Moon entering Earth's shadow, firstly into the penumbra (Earth's outer shadow) where only some of the light is blocked from reaching the Moon - turning the Moon from its familiar white to a subtle shade of white-grey.

Total Eclipse of the Moon This event—the last total lunar eclipse until 2014—is visible from the Pacific side of North America, across the entire Pacific Ocean to Asia and Eastern Europe: global visibility map. This photo, taken by Jens Hackman of Weikersheim, Germany, during a total lunar eclipse in March 2007, shows the turquoise outskirts and red core of Earth's shadow sweeping across the face of the Moon.

- Lunar eclipses can occur only at full moon, where the Moon's orbit allows it to pass through the Earth's shadow. Lunar eclipses do not occur every month because the Moon usually passes above or below the Earth's shadow (which is mostly restricted to the ecliptic plane).

The Science: Mechanics of Lunar Eclipses A lunar eclipse happens at a Full Moon, when the Moon's tilted orbit brings it into the Earth's shadow, which can then be seen cast onto the Moon. While not as spectacular as a total solar eclipse, a lunar eclipse is much easier to see; and a total lunar eclipse is an amazing and beautiful sight.

What Is a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse? When the Sun, Earth and Moon are not perfectly aligned, only the outer part of Earth's shadow covers the Moon. Such an eclipse is called a penumbral lunar eclipse. In a Total Lunar Eclipse, Earth's umbra completely covers the Moon. Earth's umbra is about 870,000 miles (1.4 million km) wide.

- A Total Eclipse occurs when the moon is completely blocked from the sun. When the Moon is in this location it is in the Umbra region of the Earth's Shadow. The Umbra is darkest region of the Earth's shadow and recieves little or no solar radiation.
