A lunar eclipse occurs when the Sun, Earth and Moon are in a straight line with the Earth between the Sun and Moon. As such a lunar eclipse can only occur during a full moon. Between two and five eclipses occur each year across the globe, parted by approximately six months.
During the 7-1/2 years from February 2008 until September 2015, there will be a total of 19 lunar eclipses -- 8 total, 5 partial, and 6 penumbral.
That's an average of almost one lunar eclipse every 5 months.
