The two points where the moon crosses the plane of the earth's orbit are known as the 'nodes' of the moon's orbit. If the moon happens to be near one of the nodes at the time of New Moon or Full Moon, then that's exactly when either a solar or a lunar eclipse can occur (respectively).

During a lunar eclipse, the Earth moves between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon.
