When you see a lunar eclipse, it's always at night on your part of the earth.

-- A lunar eclipse can only occur at the exact time of the Full Moon.

-- The Full Moon is visible only in the night sky.

So obviously, if you are in a place where you can see the Full Moon, then you are in a place

where you can see a lunar eclipse if one is in progress, and it is night-time where you are.

Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon.

Is there ever going to be an Eclipse?

There are generally two lunar eclipses and two solar eclipses each year. Sometimes you will see two partial eclipses instead of one total eclipse; in 2011, there will be four partial solar eclipses, and no total or annular solar eclipses. Since lunar eclipses happen on the Moon, they are visible from the entire night half of the Earth. Solar eclipses, when the Moon's shadow hits the Earth, affect very small areas of the Earth, and so they seem to be more rare. The next total lunar eclipse will happen on December 21, 2010, and will be visible from any point in North America.


Why is lunar eclipse seen more frequently?

Lunar eclipses and solar eclipses happen EQUALLY often; about two of each kind per year. However, solar eclipses are visible only across a small path on the Earth, while lunar eclipses are visible from the entire nighttime hemisphere of the planet.
