  • Nicknamed "blood moon," some ancient cultures regarded a total lunar eclipse as an ominous event. Today, this celestial phenomenon generates excitement and wonder. Unlike a solar eclipse, which may require travel to see, total lunar eclipses can often be observed from the entire nighttime-half of the Earth. Learn what causes a lunar eclipse and how it gains its crimson coloring.

      National Geographic A common mistake - "the Earth"; there is no "the" in front of "Earth". You wouldn't say "the Mars" or "the Saturn". Same with our own planet's name.

    There's actually a 4th type of lunar eclipse called a "central eclipse." A central eclipse is a type of total eclipse where not only does the moon go completely behind Earth's umbra but it passes through the center of Earth's umbra. Since the Earth's umbra is still about three times the diameter of the moon by the time it reaches the moon, the moon can go completely behind the Earth's umbra and easily miss the center. For this reason, central lunar eclipses are extremely rare as the vast majority of total lunar eclipses are non-central.

      Lol, long story short:
      Solar eclipse - the Moon blocks the Sun from Earth.
      Lunar eclipse - the Earth blocks the Sun from the Moon. (If you were ON the Moon, it would be like watching a solar eclipse with Earth replacing the Moons place like in a regular solar eclipse)
