the moon is in front of the sun and the suns rays go thorough the moon to make a orangeish reddihs color.
During a lunar eclipse, the earth moves between the sun and the moon. Light from the sun passes through the earth's atmosphere and is partially deflected to the moon. The deflected light gives the moon a reddish tint. The light from the sun certainly does not pass THROUGH the moon.
Half the Moon is always lit, unless the Moon is eclipsed by the Earth.
Light can partialy escape from an eclipse, unlike a black hole.Hybrid eclipses are rare.
When the earth's shadow falls on the moon it is a lunar eclipse.
Two things: 1. The star is eclipsed by the Moon 2. In passing in front of a star by the Moon, the star is limned by the leading edge of the Moon and again by the trailing edge of the Moon.
Why can't the moon be eclipsed when it is halfway between the nodes of it's orbit? It can't be eclipsed because most full moons pass too far north or too far south of the ecliptic and miss Earth's shadow.

lunar eclipse. lunar = moon, solar=sun. lunar eclipse= moon eclipsed
That's an 'eclipse' . In the case where the sun is eclipsed, the sun doesn't 'seem to grow dark', but our view of it is temporarily blocked by the moon. In the case where the moon is eclipsed, the moon really does grow dark, because the earth blocks the light of the sun from reaching it.
A solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes directly between the Sun and the Earth, and the shadow of the Moon hits the Earth.
A solar eclipse can only occur at New Moon
The answer for this question is that when the moon stands in front of the sun it makes a eclipsehope that answers your question.
Here are a few statements that I believe will answer your questions: -- Eclipses occur when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are almost perfectly in line. -- When the Earth is the one in the 'middle', the Moon is eclipsed, because it is then in the Earth's shadow. -- When the Moon is the one in the 'middle', the Sun is eclipsed for people in certain locations, because they are briefly in the Moon's shadow.
As "Pink Floyd" said " when the sun is eclipsed by the moon." Your viewing position has to be right to see it happen.
