A lunar eclipse can only occur at the time of Full Moon, and that's the only occasion when the sun
and the moon can't be up at the same time. So at the moment when a lunar eclipse is in progress,
anybody who can see it is on the earth's night side. Of course, at the same moment, there's a whole
other side of earth where the sun is up and it's daytime. But nobody there can see the moon.
