Wedding photography gear #1: A mid to high-end DSLR. I cringe to write that a Canon Rebel or Nikon D3100 would not be suitable for a wedding. I know perfectly well that I could shoot a wedding with those cameras without any problem.
While other types of Lunar Eclipses can be viewed in wide regions of the earth the part of the eclipse that is Total is viewable is a much smaller region. The same can be said for the duration of the Eclipse.
It shines because its surface reflects the Sun's rays. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon and blocks the Sun's rays from directly reaching the Moon. Lunar eclipses only happen at full Moon. There are 3 kinds of lunar eclipses: total, partial, and penumbral.
