How can you observe a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse?

Answer 1

For both, you must be outside, and your sky must be clear.

For a lunar eclipse, it must be night-time, it must be the time of the Full Moon, and

there must be a lunar eclipse in progress. Then you simply stand there, look at

the moon, and watch its appearance go through its many changes over a period

of several hours.

If you have moderately advanced photographic equipment, then you'll be able to

capture some pictures of what's going on.

For a solar eclipse, it must be daytime, it must be the time of the New Moon, and

there must be a solar eclipse in progress. Then you must arrange some means of

projecting the image of the sun and observing that, because it is very dangerous

to just stand there and look at the sun.
