It changes. There are three lunar eclipses on December 10, 2011,
June 4 and November 28, 2012.
Over a period of several years, solar and lunar eclipses both average
about 2.3 per year, but anything up to 5 in a year is possible.

Is there anything to blood moon hype?
Not a thing. Anyone waiting for Jesus to come down and smite us all is going to be waiting a long, long time...and be disappointed. The Tetrad is just a rare occurrance of four full lunar eclipses with no partial eclipses in between.
When can Eclipses of the Moon occur?
Lunar eclipses occur precisely at the full moon.
When does the moon rise with sun?
The only time the moon rises with the sun is during a lunar eclipse. Lunar eclipses only occur during a new moon when the moon is between the earth and the sun.
How often are lunar eclipses in the northern hemisphere?
The hemisphere is irrelevant. Lunar eclipses happen, over the long run, about one and a half times a year or so for partial or total lunar eclipses. (if we add penumbral eclipses also, they're a bit more common, but you need special equipment to detect a penumbral eclipse... you can't really tell visually). Lunar eclipses are visible from the entire dark half of the Earth, while solar eclipses are visible only along a narrow path. This makes it SEEM as if solar eclipses are rare, but they are only rare for a specific location. The NASA Eclipse Web Page has a listing of all eclipses from 2000 BCE to 3000 AD. Because a lunar eclipse lasts for some time, a bit over half the Earth gets to see any given one. You can reasonably expect to see slightly under one lunar eclipse per year.
Are lunar phases related to lunar eclipses?
Lunar phases are tightly related to both kinds of eclipse: -- A lunar eclipse can occur only at the time of Full Moon. -- A solar eclipse can occur only at the time of New Moon.
Who can see lunar eclipses?
it depends with side of the earth the lunar eclipse is on at the time if it was on the northern side of the earth the southern side would be the ones to see it
How often do eclipses happen in Moon and Sun?
About one or two solar eclipses per year, and one or two lunar (Moon) eclipses per year, on average. Go to NASA.com and search it. there will be a map with the spots of eclipses and time/year.
You must find the duration between 2 consecutive Lunar Eclipses from Thailand and the time taken by the Moon to complete one revolution around sun?

How many years is it between a lunar eclipse?
In the 100 years from 1901 to 2000, there were 228 solar eclipses and 229 lunar ones.So over a long period of time, that's an average of roughly 2.3 of each kind every year.There are typically 2 or 3 of each kind every year. But some years have only one, andoccasionally there can be a year with as many as five.There are generally two lunar eclipses each year. Of those, about half are partial or penumbral, and a lunar eclipse is visible from about one-half of the world. So wherever you live, you can expect to experience one total lunar eclipse about every other year.Depending on the precise alignment of the Sun, Moon and Earth, a lunar eclipse can take anywhere from a few minutes (for a partial eclipse) to three or four hours, from beginning to end.
What is the difference between a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse?
Lunar eclipses occurs at a full moon when Earth is directly between the moon an the sun and also occurs only when there is a full moon because the moon is closet to Earth,s shadow at that time while a solar eclipses occur when the moon passes directly between Earth and the sun, blocking sunlight from Earth and only occurs when a new moon blocks your view of the sun.
When was the last time three lunar eclipse occur in one year?
There were four (4) lunar eclipses in 2009. Beginning with 1980, the following years list 3 (or 4) lunar eclipses: 1982 1984 1991 (4) 1998 2001 2002 2009 (4) 2013 2020 (4) 2027 2028
Can a lunar eclipse happen at anytime?
Lunar eclipses can be observed only during the night and only when the moon is far from the sun. Solar eclipses can be observed only during the day and only when the moon is near the sun.
