It is o.k. to view a lunar eclipse, because unlike a solar eclipse you are not viewing direct sunlight which can be harmful and blinding but rather reflected light. When viewing a lunar eclipse you would see even less light than viewing a full moon which we know is safe.

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. The position and visibility of the Moon during an eclipse would vary based on your location and the phase of the eclipse.

Why does the moon look orange in an eclipse?

During a lunar eclipse, the Earth blocks direct sunlight from reaching the moon. However, some sunlight still reaches the moon after passing through Earth's atmosphere. The Earth's atmosphere scatters shorter-wavelength blue and green light, allowing longer-wavelength red and orange light to reach the moon, giving it an orange hue during an eclipse.


How or why does orange moon occur?

The moon will look orange during a total lunar eclipse, this is because the moon is in Earth's shadow and the sunlight reaching the moon gets bent (directed to Earth then to the moon).

How do you view an eclipse?

Well first you go outside. Then you look up at the sky. Now a lunar eclipse involves the moon and a solar involves the sun. I have personally seen a lunar eclipse. The moon's surface turns a dark brown because of Earth's shadow. A solar eclipse is much more interesting. During a solar, the moon moves in front of the sun covering everything but the rim called the corona. Wear sunglasses when viewing a solar eclipse.
