Lunar eclipse
A lunar eclipse is an astronomical phenomenon. It happens when the moon passes through the shadow of the Earth.. when the shadow of earth falls on to the moon is called full moon phase....  Lunar eclipses happen about twice a year, unlike total solar eclipses that are sometimes more than a year apart. They can be seen from a much larger portion of the Earth compared to solar eclipses. Lunar eclipses can last for a few hours, but total solar eclipses last only a few minutes.
