Do you mean the book by Stephanie Meyer? Because, if you do, Edward refers to "Eclipse" because he's competing against Jacob, he being the sun and Jacob being the moon, therefore making it an eclipse because Bella can't choose whom she loves more.
Hope this answered your question.

When a lunar clipe occures,the moon passes behind the Earth,in such a way that the earth blocks the sun's rays from striking the moon. Thiswill only occur only when the Sun, Earth and Moon are aligned exactly, or very closely so, with the Earth in the middle. Thata is why during a lunar eclipe ,ther is always a full moon . The eclipsetype and lenght depend upon the Moon's location relative to its orbital nodes. The next total lunar eclipse will occur on December 21, 2010. Unlike a solar eclipse, which e. Lunar eclipse
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaThe moon passes directly in back of the Earth in relation to the sun.
The moon passes directly behind the earth and the moon doesn't have any light to reflect from the sun.
They occur because every now and then, during the time of the full moon, the earth gets in the way of the sunlight illuminating the moon, and the earth's shadow covers the moon completely or partially.
according to the new explaining couses of lunar eclipse > Earth is positioned between the sun and the moon and the shadow of the earth is cast upon the moon.
A lunar eclipse happens when the Earth blocks all the light from the sun from getting to the moon. The Earth gets in between the sun and moon and acts as a barrier. Because almost all the light that comes form the moon is reflected of the sun, none of it is produced by the moon, we cannot see the moon's light during a lunar Eclipse.

A lunar eclipse
?happens when the Earth moves between the Sun and the moon, blocking part of the Sun's light from reaching the moon.?
A lunar eclipse occurs only during a full moon when the Moon and Sun are on opposite sides of the Earth and all three bodies exist in a straight line. In this configuration the Earth blocks the sun's rays, thus casting a shadow on the moon. The Earth, Moon, and Sun only rarely line up in this manner because the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun is different from the plane of the Moon's orbit around the Earth. (A plane is an imaginary surface that runs through all the points of an orbit.) Only once every six months or so do these planes intersect, creating the conditions required for an eclipse.
Lunar eclipses and solar eclipses happen EQUALLY often; about two of each kind per year. However, solar eclipses are visible only across a small path on the Earth, while lunar eclipses are visible from the entire nighttime hemisphere of the planet.
Because for any given point on Earth, lunar eclipses are visible more often than solar eclipses.
On earth there are 2 eclipses, Lunar and Solar eclipses
Lunar eclipses were created by our shadow.
It could be seen by millions of people

Sooner or later, a lunar eclipse is seen by everybody on earth's "surface".
Yes
There are most often two lunar eclipses each year (see the link below for a timetable). In 2013 the lunar eclipses will not be very dramatic.
On average, every other year or so. There will be a partial lunar eclipse which should be visible in Oklahoma on June 4, 2012, and a total lunar eclipse on April 15, 2014. There are several penumbral lunar eclipses between now and then, but penumbral eclipses are of interest only to astronomers.

yes there are full and partial lunar eclipses
there are at least two lunar eclipses in a year
