The moon would have to be in the earth's umbral shadow. Another words, the earth would have to be in between the sun and the moon. They would all have to be lined up also (on the ecliptic) otherwise the moon would be either above or below the earth's shadow.. hope this helps :)

Aka it would have to be a full moon for a lunar eclipse to be observed.
