An eclipse occurs when one heavenly body such as a moon moves into the shadow of another heavenly body in an alignment called syzygy (pronounced Siz-eh-gee). Sometimes Moon passes through Earth's shadow wherein Earth comes in directly between the moon and the sun. At this time, sunlight fails to land on the moon due to the earth's interference which is why it is called a lunar eclipse.

The sunlight passes through the earth, lands on the surface of the moon and reflects back on earth. This is the only light that the moon will be sent towards the earth. This could also be why Moon looks much darker during an eclipse. Lunar eclipses have much higher visibility than solar eclipses because the earth creates a shadow that is larger than the moon. Since Moon hides in this shadow for a long time. It allows us on the planet earth to take a view of the eclipse.

There are three different types of Lunar eclipses, total, penumbral and partial. The two solar eclipses can be separated by 1, 5 or 6 synodic months.

The Moon is full whenever the Sun is stationed opposite it as Sun should be behind the earth and opposite the moon in order to throw its shadow on its surface.

There is a strong reason why every full moon does not cause an eclipse. The orbital plane of the Moon differs by 5° from that of the Earth. The moon at times appears above the earthly shadow whereas, at other times, it is below it. Two types of shadows are recognised by Astronomers. The outer penumbra, allows the earth to block the Sunrays from the moon only partially, whereas the umbra allows the earth to shield the moon from the sun rays in its entirety. You could see this phenomenon clearly from the lunar surface.

Depending on the position of the moon, three types of lunar eclipses namely penumbral lunar eclipse, partial lunar eclipse and Total lunar eclipse can occur. This time on 08 November, we are going to see a total lunar eclipse a detailed explanation for which is given below.

A total eclipse is when the Moon is completely blocked out. Here moon is totally shadowed by the umbra region of earth's shadow which is why the moon gets a dark reddish shade.

You do not really need a specialised equipment to view the eclipse. Of course, you could use a telescope of binoculars to track the progress of the eclipse, pin to pin. Lunar eclipses, at the maximum, can last for four hours. Lunar eclipses are more frequent than solar eclipses as approximately 5 lunar eclipse occur every two years once on the earth's surface. It is next to impossible for this event to occur 5 times in one year.
