A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes through Earth's shadow. For a lunar eclipse to occur, the Earth must be positioned directly between the Sun and the Moon, which only happens during a full Moon.
In the first phase, the Moon enters Earth's penumbra, which is the outer shadow of the Earth. This causes a subtle dimming of the Moon’s surface.
Next, the Moon moves into Earth's umbra, the darker, inner shadow, where the Sun's light is completely blocked. This causes the Moon to take on a reddish color due to a process called Rayleigh scattering.
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, blocking all or part of the Sun's light from reaching Earth. Solar eclipses can only occur during a new moon.

A blood moon is a colloquial term for the reddish color of the Moon during a total lunar eclipse, caused by Earth's atmosphere scattering sunlight.
Eclipses occur regularly, with solar eclipses happening at least twice a year and lunar eclipses occurring about 2-4 times annually.
Eclipses are fascinating astronomical events that come in various forms, with both solar and lunar eclipses offering different viewing experiences. The term “eclipse” is derived from the Greek word meaning "darkening of a heavenly body."
