In a Lunar Eclipse, you see the full moon suddenly with a small "bite" out of it, as the Moon enters the Earth's shadow. The darkened area will grow and grow. In a partial eclipse, the shadow then starts to slide off of the Moon (actually, the Moon is passing beside the shadow, without being completely darkened). In a total eclipse, the Moon gets darker and darker until it is entirely within the Earth's shadow.
Then something marvelous happens. Once the Moon is completely in the shadow of the Earth, you would think that the Moon would be completely dark, but it isn't; the Moon becomes a deep red! The direct light of the Sun can no longer hit the Moon, because the Moon is in Earth's shadow; but the red light refracted AROUND the Earth continues out into space and lights the Moon a dim red color. The red light is the red of the sunsets and sunrises all around the world!
