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.
Basically, because the moon (lunar eclipse) is not the sun (solar eclipse).
The moon does not generate any energy -- it absorbs most of what it receives from the sun, and reflects just a tiny fraction of it. (The moon is a lousy mirror.) So when one looks at the moon, with the naked eye or through binoculars or a telescope, and then observes that the Earth is eclipsing the Sun's light on the moon, it is safe to do so -- it does not harm the eye.
Viewing a solar eclipse is an entirely different thing: The sun generates raw powerful energy in the form of electromagnetic waves (visible light, UV light, IR light, radio waves, etc.). It is dangerous to look at the sun with the naked eye, and even worse with binos or a scope. For safe methods to view a solar eclipse, see solar-eclipse-3
A lunar eclipse is safer to look at, as it happens when the earth passes between the sun and the moon, and the earth casts a shadow over the moon. Unlike a solar eclipse, a lunar eclipse is when an observer is not looking directly at the sun - which is dangerous to the observers eyesight as during a solar eclipse.
Because you're not looking at the sun. You're only looking
at a rock, that's either lit up or else in shadow.
because people are mad
sorry i put wrong anwser sorry alot
No. During a lunar eclipse, you can safely stare directly at the moon continuously, for the entire several hours that the eclipse is in progress. And try to stay awake.
You can breed a Lunar Eclipse dragon using the following combinations: Lunar Eclipse and Lunar Eclipse, Lunar Eclipse and Solstice, Equinox and Lunar Eclipse, Blue Moon and Lunar Eclipse, Lunar Eclipse and Solar Eclipse, Lunar Eclipse and Moon, and Lunar Eclipse and Sun.
More people can see a total lunar eclipse than a total solar eclipse because to see the complete solar eclipse you must be in a locations directly underneath it so your point of view and angle of the moon is correct. It doesn't matter as much as to where you are for a lunar eclipse...
Everyone on the night half of the Earth. There will be a total lunar eclipse the evening of December 20, 2010, and everywhere in North America will have a good view.

It is called a Lunar Eclipse which happens at night. A Solar Eclipse occurs in the daytime when the moon passes between the sun and the earth, creating a shadow on the earth.
From our view, Black.

pinhole camera, look it up
A lunar eclipse happens ON THE MOON, so it is visible from anywhere in the night half of the Earth. To see a lunar eclipse, go outside and look up. As long as the weather is clear, you'll be able to see it.
There is a kind of special sunglasses that allow you to view an eclipse without eye damage. They can usually be purchased from someone at the eclipse site before it starts.
A lunar eclipse can be seen from anywhere on the dark side of the Earth. The Moon is opposite the Sun because the eclipse happens at Full Moon, and the Moon should be at a good height, so it's preferable to view it from a place where the eclipse starts a couple of hour after sunset.
More people can see a total lunar eclipse than a total solar eclipse because to see the complete solar eclipse you must be in a locations directly underneath it so your point of view and angle of the moon is correct. It doesn't matter as much as to where you are for a lunar eclipse...
There will be a total lunar eclipse on June 15, 2011. Unfortunately, for English viewers the Moon will set during the eclipse. People in India and central Europe and western Asia have a better view.
