In your comment you said: "You know nothing of astronomy. Everyone knows that an eclipse of the moon is when the sun goes between the moon and the earth, and you get the ring of fire, and other places." An eclipse of the moon is NOT when "the sun goes between the moon and the earth". I can guarantee you that the Sun _never_ goes between the Earth and the Moon. The Earth-Moon distance is, on average, roughly 238,900 miles while the Earth-Sun distance is 92,955,820.5 miles. A _HUGE_ difference, the Sun will never be between the Earth and the Moon.
A Lunar eclipse is caused by the shadow of the Earth while a Solar eclipse is caused when the Moon is between the Earth and Sun and the angles are right.
Next time you jump down someones throat about Astromony, maybe make sure you know what you are talking about or even spend a few minutes on Google.
