The Moon doesn't completely disappear during a lunar eclipse, when it passes into Earth's shadow, because of Earth's atmosphere. As sunlight passes through the atmosphere, it is refracted and scattered, allowing some light to reach the Moon. This scattered light can give the Moon a reddish hue, often referred to as a "blood moon," instead of making it completely vanish.
