When you see a lunar eclipse, it's always at night on your part of the earth.

-- A lunar eclipse can only occur at the exact time of the Full Moon.

-- The Full Moon is visible only in the night sky.

So obviously, if you are in a place where you can see the Full Moon, then you are in a place

where you can see a lunar eclipse if one is in progress, and it is night-time where you are.
