What occurs when the moon travels through the earth's shadow?
A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon travels through the Earth's shadow. This can result in a partial or total eclipse, depending on the alignment of the Earth, sun, and moon. During a total lunar eclipse, the moon appears to turn a reddish hue due to sunlight bending through Earth's atmosphere.
If a lunar eclipse occurred at midnight where in the sky would you look to see it?
During a lunar eclipse, you would look towards the sky to see the Moon. Depending on the type of eclipse (penumbral, partial, or total), the Moon may appear dimmer, have a shadow cast across it, or turn a reddish hue.

Who has been on the moon during a lunar eclipse?
No astronauts have ever been on the moon during a lunar eclipse. The last lunar eclipse occurred on November 8, 2022, and the next one will occur on March 14, 2025. The last time humans were on the moon was in December 1972, and there have been no plans to send astronauts back to the moon since then. However, if astronauts were on the moon during a lunar eclipse, they would see a very different sight than people on Earth. The moon would appear to turn a reddish color as it passed through Earth's shadow. This is because the only light that reaches the moon during a lunar eclipse is sunlight that has been refracted through Earth's atmosphere. The blue light is scattered away by the atmosphere, leaving only the red light to reach the moon. In addition to the reddish moon, astronauts on the moon would also see a ring of light around the Earth. This ring of light is caused by sunlight that is refracted through Earth's atmosphere and then reflected off the moon's surface. The ring of light is often called the "Earthshine". So, while no astronauts have ever been on the moon during a lunar eclipse, they would certainly see a very different and awe-inspiring sight than people on Earth.
What does a total lunar eclipse look like and how does it differ from other types of lunar eclipses?
During a total lunar eclipse, the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. The Moon appears to turn a reddish color, known as a "blood moon," due to the Earth's atmosphere bending sunlight towards the Moon. This differs from other types of lunar eclipses, such as partial or penumbral eclipses, where only part of the Moon is obscured by the Earth's shadow.

Why don't you have a lunar eclipse during every full moon?
The moon orbits the Earth and it is tilted by five degrees to the Earth's ecliptic plane, so that the moon will either be above or below the ecliptic at most full moons, this in turn prevents the moon from entering the Earth's shadow - hence no lunar eclipse.
What does a lunar eclipse look like when viewed from Earth?
Well, a lunar eclipse happens when the Earth comes between the sun and the moon, creating a shadow that covers the moon.
