Lunar eclipses occur every 3 years?
Typically, lunar eclipses occur once or twice a year. Because more than half of all lunar eclipses are partial, and because lunar eclipses are visible only from the side of the Earth where the Moon is up, you would generally be able to see a total lunar eclipse every other year or every 3rd year from your location. The rest of the eclipses would be either partial, or not visible from your location. You can check the NASA Eclipse Web Page to see the catalog of all eclipses from 2000 BCE to 3000 AD at the link below.

WHEN THE MOON AND SUN ARE ALIGNED THE PRODUCE?
Of course, you can always draw a straight line from Moon to Sun, so really, to be interesting, the alignment would involve Earth, Sun, and the Moon. If they are in a straight line, there will sometimes be solar eclipses, or lunar eclipses.
What does an astronaut facing the earth during a lunar eclipse what does he will observe?
During a lunar eclipse, an astronaut on the Moon facing Earth would see a total solar eclipse. The Earth would block the Sun's light, casting a shadow on the Moon and obscuring its surface. The Moon would appear dark or reddish due to the Earth's atmosphere refracting sunlight.
Which type of eclipse would you expect to see at night?
Lunar Eclipses are visible from the entire NIGHT half of the Earth.

The observation of planetary activities (like eclipses and lunar rotations) are facilitated by the utilization of a telescope.

It already does happen on Earth but just not that offten.The size doesn't matter.
If you had no moon?
If the Earth had no moon, there would be little, if any, tides. It would also be a lot darker at night (but the stars would still be there) and there would be no eclipses (lunar or solar).
What would a lunar eclipse look like for an astronaut on the moon?
It would look like a solar eclipse - Earth would cover the Sun.
How often does an eclipes happen?
There are generally two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses each year. Sometimes instead of having one total eclipse, we have two partial eclipses a month apart. The minimum number of eclipses in any year is one; the maximum possible would be five. We get the idea that lunar eclipses are more common than solar eclipses, but that's not true. It SEEMS that way, because solar eclipses (when the Moon's shadow hits the Earth) affect a very small path across the Earth's surface, and people outside this path don't generally notice the eclipse. But a lunar eclipse, when the Earth's shadow darkens the Moon, happens ON THE MOON, and is visible from the entire night half of the Earth. So many more people get to see a lunar eclipse, while only a few are in the path of a solar eclipse.
