Total lunar eclipse. Optical photograph of the Moon during a total lunar eclipse. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes into the shadow cast into space by the Earth. The Moon does not disappear during totality as sunlight is refracted onto it by the Earth's atmosphere. Much of the blue light is scattered during the passage of the light through the atmosphere,making the Moon appear red at totality. Lunar eclipses are visible from everywhere on the night side of the Earth | |
