Some details:
The moon has no light of its own, it shines by the sunlight that is reflected off its surface.
The Moon orbits the Earth about once every 29.5 days. As it circles our planet, the changing position of the Moon with respect to the Sun causes our natural satellite to cycle through a series of phases:
New Moon > New Crescent > First Quarter > Waxing Gibbous> Full Moon > Waning Gibbous > Last Quarter > Old Crescent > New Moon
An eclipse of the Moon (or lunar eclipse) can only occur at Full Moon, if the Moon passes through some portion of Earth's shadow....

There are three major types of lunar eclipses:
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse-The Moon passes through Earth's penumbral shadow.
Partial Lunar Eclips-A portion of the Moon passes through Earth's umbral shadow.
You are in a total lunar eclipse when from your point of view the moon totally blocks out the sun.
After 2017, the next total Lunar Eclipse will be on 27th July 2018.
The next lunar eclipse will occur on May 26, 2021. It will be a total lunar eclipse visible from various parts of the world.
You can breed a Lunar Eclipse dragon using the following combinations: Lunar Eclipse and Lunar Eclipse, Lunar Eclipse and Solstice, Equinox and Lunar Eclipse, Blue Moon and Lunar Eclipse, Lunar Eclipse and Solar Eclipse, Lunar Eclipse and Moon, and Lunar Eclipse and Sun.
The lunar eclipse lasts longer than a solar one
If there is a total lunar eclipse, everybody sees it as total. If there is a total solar eclipse, only people in a small part of Earth see it as total - most will see it as a partial eclipse, or not at all.
a total lunar eclipse can be seen anywhere on earth where the moon is visible so you are more likely to see a total lunar eclipse than a total solar eclipse
I would rather experience A Moon Total Lunar Eclipse
A total lunar eclipse can be seen anywhere on Earth where the moon is visible..so you are more likely to see a lunar eclipse than a solar eclipse.
The Earth has to be directly between the Moon and the Sun to caus a lunar eclipse.
One characteristic of total lunar eclipse is that the moon completely travels into the Earth's umbra.
it is when the moon is completely covered by the sun
The next total lunar eclipse in Pakistan will be on Januray 31, 2018.
After 2017, the next total Lunar Eclipse will be on 27th July 2018.
A total lunar eclipse happens when the Earth blocks out the moon entirely from the sun.
I only read 2 diffrent types of lunar eclipses which is the Partial Lunar Eclipse and the Total Lunar Eclipse.solar and lunar
The next lunar eclipse will occur on May 26, 2021. It will be a total lunar eclipse visible from various parts of the world.
A full lunar eclipse covers the whole sun while others only partially cover the sun
