No, it's impossible. A lunar eclipse can only happen when the Moon is entirely, PERFECTLY full.

Can a lunar eclipse happen during a gibbous moon?

NO!!! A lunar Eclipse occurs at a FULL Moon. A full Moon is when the Sun - Earth = Moon are in a direct plane/line. A gibbous Moon is when the moon , when the Moon is angled out of this plane/line . Thinking in terms of angles, gibbous moon is angled between 90 degrees to 180 degrees , but NOT at these angles, between the Sun - Earth plane/line. Similarly,, a Solar Eclipse occurs only at New Moon. Not when it is angled in crescent shape. The Eclipses occur when the S-M-E (Solar Eclipse) or S-E-M (Lunar Eclipse) are in a direct line with each other. When the Moon shows crescent, gibbous or half 'shape' then you do NOT have eclipses.
