i think on Dec. 10th 2012 but the U.S will only see half of the eclipse
A lunar eclipse (eclipse of the moon) can occur only at the time of the Full Moon. A solar eclipse (eclipse of the sun) can occur only at the time of New Moon.
When the Earth, Sun and Moon are in line an eclipse can occur.
During a full moon lunar eclipses can occur.
No. To get a solar eclipse the moon has to be in a position between the sun and the earth, this happens only round the time of the new moon (when there is little or no moon visible). When the moon is full, the earth is between the sun and the moon (there could therefore be a "lunar" eclipse).
The answer is: a total lunar eclipse
A Solar Eclipse can only occur at a NEW MOON. Similarly a Lunar Eclipse can only occur at a FULL MOON.
A solar eclipse can only occur at a time of a new moon.
A lunar eclipse (eclipse of the moon) can occur only at the time of the Full Moon. A solar eclipse (eclipse of the sun) can occur only at the time of New Moon.
A solar eclipse can only occur at the time of New Moon. A lunar eclipse can only occur at the time of Full Moon.
A lunar eclipse can occur only at the time of the Full Moon.
because all the moon phases have to occur before the full moon and the new moon
As a matter of fact, Full Moon is the only time a lunar eclipse can occur.
It has to be in new moon.
A solar eclipse only can occur at the time of the New Moon,but doesn't occur at the large majority of them.
The lunar eclipse can only happen when the moon is full.
A solar eclipse can only occur at the time of New Moon.
A solar eclipse can only occur at the time of New Moon.
