The event caused by the Moon passing through Earth's shadow is called a lunar eclipse. During this phenomenon, the Earth is positioned directly between the Sun and the Moon, blocking sunlight from reaching the Moon and casting a shadow on it. This can result in the Moon taking on a reddish hue, often referred to as a "blood moon." Lunar eclipses can only occur during a full moon.
