A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes directly between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. This alignment can only occur during a full moon phase when the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. During a new moon, the Moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, making it impossible for the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon, thus preventing a lunar eclipse.
