a lunar eclipse
That's called a lunar eclipse.

It goes through most of the same phases as a solar eclipse, but it's easier to watch by eye. Even better with binoculars, telescope, or a camera with zoom.

What is the difference between an eclipse and a transit?

An eclipse occurs when one celestial body passes through the shadow of another, like a solar eclipse when the Moon blocks the Sun. A transit is when a smaller celestial body passes in front of a larger body, like the transit of Mercury or Venus across the face of the Sun.

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes through Earths?

A partial lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon partly passes through the Earth's umbra. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon fully passes through the Earth's umbra. When the Moon only passes through the penumbra, there is only a subtle darkening of its surface. The umbra and the penumbra are parts of the Earth's shadow.

Light that bends when it passes through a lens?

Refraction is the bending of light when it passes through a lens. This bending occurs due to the change in speed of light as it moves from one medium (such as air) to another (such as glass). The degree of bending depends on the refractive index of the materials involved.
