Lunar eclipse occur when the moon passes through the Earth's umbra (shadow). This means that the Earth must be in between the Sun and the Moon. Due to the movement of the Earth around the Sun, this can only occur at specific points in time, as the Earth wobbles on its axis, in addition to being tilted on its axis in relation to the solar plane (the path which the Earth travels around the Sun). Since the Earth's axis is tilted out of plane (i.e. not perpendicular or straight up and down to the solar plane) the Moon orbits Earth at an angle out of solar plane. Because of the different speeds invovled, the Moon aligns with the Earth and Sun in the proper configuration infrequently, but it is possible to calculate when the event will occur.
