Lunar eclipses can only happen during a full moon, while solar eclipses can only occur during a new moon.

When will the next lunar eclipse be in the UK?
There will be a very small partial lunar eclipse visible from the UK, Europe and Asia on December 31, 2009. The Moon will mostly slide by the Earth's shadow and only a small sliver of the Moon will be affected. There are normally two lunar eclipses per year, but because of the way the Moon's orbit is tilted, and the fact that lunar eclipses can only happen at the full moon, in 2009 there will be FOUR lunar eclipses; all very minor. The first three are penumbral eclipses, in which the Moon will be only a little dimmed, and will most likely be unnoticeable.
