A+lunar+eclipse

==A lunar eclipse is when the moon appears darkened as it passes in the earths shadow.== The moon glows when sunlight reflects off it so on a lunar eclipse the earths shadow blocks the sun and makes the moon look dark. This happens when the Earth, Sun, and moon are lined up. For a lunar eclipse to happen it has to be a full moon. There are three different types of lunar eclipses total, partial ,and penumbral. A total eclipse is when the moon is totally covered, a partial eclipse is when the moon is not totally covered (every lunar eclipse goes through the partial faze), and the penumbral eclipse is when you can still see the edges of the moon. Sometimes a blood moon happens. Lunar eclipses happen about every year. The last lunar eclipse was on April 15, 2014.The next lunar eclipse will happen on September 28, 2015.
