A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes behind the earth such that the earth blocks the sun's rays from striking the moon. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth and Moon are aligned exactly, or very closely so, with the Earth in the middle. There's a popular misconception that during an eclipse the sun emits some sort of unusual light that can blind you in as little as a blink. But the sun's light is no different during an eclipse than any other time. It is safe to view a lunar eclipse without any eye protection because you will be looking at the moon gone black.

How do you safely view a lunar eclipse?
Precautions must be taken to avoid damage to the eyes while observing a solar eclipse ... an eclipse of the sun. No such caution is required while viewing a lunar eclipse. You can freely look at the moon as much as you wish, whether or not it's in the process of being eclipsed, provided, of course, that your attention is not required elsewhere ... on the road ahead of your car, for example.
What is the difference between a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse?
A solar eclipse is when the sun is blocked from view due to the moon passing exactly in front of the sun as it circles around the globe. However, since the earth moon and sun do not share the same orbital plane, this happens very rarely. You MUST wear special protective eye covering to directly observe a solar eclipse or you risk causing serious injury including blindness. Sunglasses, however good they are, DO NOT PROTECT YOUR EYES during a solar eclipse. Don't directly observe a solar eclipse unless you have guaranteed that your eye wear is certified to protect you. A lunar eclipse is when the moon and sun are on opposite sides of the globe, and the moon is full. At this time, when the earth blocks sunlight from reaching the moon this is called a lunar eclipse. The moon will often appear red during a total lunar eclipse. For the same reason as a solar eclipse, this also happens very rarely, but more frequently at a given location than solar eclipses. It is safe to observe a lunar eclipse without any special protective covering for the eyes. Just remember that if you are looking at an eclipse at night, it is safe to view.
