every 420 years
There isn't really any correlation between eclipses and solstices, so statistically we might expect to see a total lunar eclipse (which happens about once per year) on the winter solstice about once every 360 years. The total lunar eclipse of December 20/21, 2010 (depending on what time zone you are in) is a bit over 13 hours before the northern hemisphere winter solstice.
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.
yhe next lunar eclipse will happen in 2 years
Tuesday December 21, 2010
A winter solstice lunar eclipse occured, and would not occur again until 12/21/2010.
A lunar eclipse can happen only when the Moon is full.
It was at 2:00 A.M. in most of the parts in the U.S. last night on December 21st, 2010. It was a rare event in which a lunar eclipse fell on a winter solstice. The last time this happened was over 400 years ago!
A lunar eclipse is just the result of the Earth's shadow on the moon, as a result of a near perfect alignment of the Sun, Earth, and Moon. It is not "forced" or "done" by man; it just happens. The lunar eclipse that will be able to be seen by all of North America will appear on December 21, 2010, and will be the first one to appear during the Winter Solstice in over 300 years.
The lunar eclipse can only happen when the moon is full.
When the conditions are right, a lunar eclipse can happen in ANY month, but only at the time of Full Moon.
yes
No, a lunar eclipse does not happen every 4 years. On average, there are about two to four lunar eclipses each year. The frequency and visibility of lunar eclipses can vary due to the positions of the Earth, Sun, and Moon.
