Consider three bodies (Sun, Earth, Moon) in a straight line.

If the order is Sun - Moon - Earth, there's a chance that some folks on Earth will experience a SOLAR eclipse. If the order is Sun - Earth - Moon, Earthlings will see a LUNAR eclipse.

If someone were on the Moon when these things happened, the SOLAR eclipse would be an umbral transit (the shadow of the Moon would move across the Earth) and the LUNAR eclipse would be a solar eclipse (or more properly, a solar occultation).

To view an eclipse safely, you can use certified solar viewing glasses that meet the ISO 12312-2 international safety standard. Do not look directly at the sun without proper eye protection, as this can cause permanent eye damage. You can also observe the eclipse indirectly by creating a pinhole projector or using a telescope with a solar filter.


Is it bad to look outside during a lunar eclipse?

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.
