Who has been on the moon during a lunar eclipse?
No astronauts have ever been on the moon during a lunar eclipse. The last lunar eclipse occurred on November 8, 2022, and the next one will occur on March 14, 2025. The last time humans were on the moon was in December 1972, and there have been no plans to send astronauts back to the moon since then. However, if astronauts were on the moon during a lunar eclipse, they would see a very different sight than people on Earth. The moon would appear to turn a reddish color as it passed through Earth's shadow. This is because the only light that reaches the moon during a lunar eclipse is sunlight that has been refracted through Earth's atmosphere. The blue light is scattered away by the atmosphere, leaving only the red light to reach the moon. In addition to the reddish moon, astronauts on the moon would also see a ring of light around the Earth. This ring of light is caused by sunlight that is refracted through Earth's atmosphere and then reflected off the moon's surface. The ring of light is often called the "Earthshine". So, while no astronauts have ever been on the moon during a lunar eclipse, they would certainly see a very different and awe-inspiring sight than people on Earth.

The "next" one of anything is a continually moving target. Any set answer will be out of date when the "next" event occurs.

Do lunar eclipeses occur only every three years?
No. During the 5000-year period 2000 BCE to 3000 CE, there have been / will be a total of 12,064 lunar eclipses ... an average of about 2.4 per year. During the 10-year period 2001 to 2010, there are 24 lunar eclipses ... also 2.4 per year. There were 3 lunar eclipses in 2001, and 4 lunar eclipses in 2009. December 21, 2010 is/was the second lunar eclipse of 2010. So over the long term, you're looking at between 2 and 3 lunar eclipses every year.
