A full lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, due to which the rays of the Sun do not reach the Moon directly. Conversely, a solar eclipse occurs when the moon comes between the Earth and the Sun and casts a shadow on the Earth by blocking the Sun’s rays.

This year’s first full lunar eclipse is rare in many ways. It will be called a supermoon on the eclipse day and will be of blood-red color. These two coincidences come once in many years. According to scientists, this is called a superlunar event. Because it will also be a supermoon, there will be an eclipse and the moon will look bloody red.
According to science, when the moon completely covers the back of the earth, then there is no light of the sun on it. It goes into darkness. But the moon is never completely black. It starts to look red. Therefore, sometimes a full lunar eclipse is also called a blood moon.
A lunar eclipse is an astronomical event. When the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon and when the Moon comes out of the Earth’s shadow, a lunar eclipse occurs. When the Earth stops the sun’s rays completely, it is called a full lunar eclipse, but when only part of the moon is hidden, it is called a partial lunar eclipse.
The lunar eclipse always occurs on the full moon night. The moon passes through the shadows of the earth maximum of three times in a year, only then a lunar eclipse occurs.
