Can a lunar eclipse happen during a gibbous moon?
NO!!! A lunar Eclipse occurs at a FULL Moon. A full Moon is when the Sun - Earth = Moon are in a direct plane/line. A gibbous Moon is when the moon , when the Moon is angled out of this plane/line . Thinking in terms of angles, gibbous moon is angled between 90 degrees to 180 degrees , but NOT at these angles, between the Sun - Earth plane/line. Similarly,, a Solar Eclipse occurs only at New Moon. Not when it is angled in crescent shape. The Eclipses occur when the S-M-E (Solar Eclipse) or S-E-M (Lunar Eclipse) are in a direct line with each other. When the Moon shows crescent, gibbous or half 'shape' then you do NOT have eclipses.

Why does a lunar eclipse only happens during the new moon phase?
You misunderstand. !!! A Lunar eclipse occurs at Full Moon A Solar eclipse occurs at New Moon. The word 'eclipse' means to hide or obscure. Lunar means of the Moon Solar means of the Sun . So at Lunar Eclipse the Moon is obscured/hidden from the Sun, by the Earth. At Solar Eclipse the Sun is obscured/hidden from the Earth by the Moon. NB At Lunar eclipse, we can still see the FULL Moon. However, its colour becomes a dull red/grey colour, due to double/triple reflections of solar light from the Earth, which is NOT as intense as direct solar reflection, seen at full moon. Think of a bright moon lit night ; you can see , but the light is not bright like daytime. The same occurs in reverse, so the Moon does not appear as bright during a lunar eclipse as at fully (lit) moon. The light rays reflect multiple times 'bounce' between the Earth and the Moon. NNB Solar eclipse ; it is Sun - Moon - Earth. in the direct line Lunar eclipse ; it is Sun - Earth - Moon in direct line. Notice how the Earth and Moon 'swop' positions. Hope that clarifies for you!!!!
