Lunar Eclipse December 21, 2010 at 1:33 am (New Mexico)
When the conditions are right, a lunar eclipse can happen in ANY month, but only at the time of Full Moon.
A lunar eclipse can happen at the time of any Full Moon, but no more than about 5 times in a year, max.
A solar eclipse can only happen at the time of New Moon.A lunar eclipse can only happen at the time of Full Moon.
Lunar eclipses can happen a maximum of twice per year, and only at the time of the full moon. Sometimes the alignment is just right, and we get a total lunar eclipse. If the alignment isn't exact, we might get a partial or a penumbral eclipse instead of a total eclipse.
As I write this, at 6:30 PM PST on December 20, 2010, the next lunar eclipse will begin in about 4 hours.
Long before there were people on Earth to notice it.

It will happen on the 20th of June at 12:30 pacific standard time.
If you can see the Moon during a lunar eclipse, the Sun would usually be below the horizon. Apart from that, there is nothing special about the Sun during a lunar eclipse; looking at the Sun is just as dangerous as at any other time.
Lunar eclipse can occur only at the time of Full Moon.
The next lunar eclipse is set to occur on November 28th, 2012. This is a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse. April 25th, 2013 is when the next one from 2012 will occur. This is a Partial Lunar Eclipse. Keep in mind that an eclipse isn't always visible from every point on Earth-- You have to be fortunate that the shadow falls upon your region at the right time of day!
