The lunar eclipse takes place during the full moon when the earth’s shadow covers the moon’s surface. The shadow prevents the moon from receiving any light from the sun’s rays which are reflected on its surface. More so, when the moon is completely covered by the earth’s shadow, that is, they are in the same line, a total lunar eclipse occurs. The lunar eclipse will only take place when all the three bodies involved in the process of its formation are on a straight line. These bodies are the sun, the earth, and the moon. It is rare for these bodies to be aligned in an ideal straight line due to the differences in their alignment angles and this is the reason why lunar eclipses do not occur monthly. The shadows formed on the moon by the earth vary in the intensity of darkness. Thus, the lunar eclipse is clearly visible when the shadow is umbra rather than the penumbra, since it is the darkest of the two shadows formed, although it has a shorter time span. Furthermore, when being viewed such an eclipse does not require protection because it is dimmer than the full moon and also during this time the moon’s color changes to red or copper and thus it can be easily seen. Total lunar eclipse occurs when the moon is fully covered by the earth’s shadow and thus it does not receive any light at all. This total darkness on the moon’s surface resembles the color of blood “thick red” and thus the name blood moon occurred. This color is formed due to the dispersion of light particles in the atmosphere of the earth’s surface. The other colors are blocked and scattered while the red color easily goes through due to its low wavelength making the total eclipse easy to view. Their blood red or coppery color depend on the amount of particles available in the atmosphere and thus, the more the particles, the darker the red color. However, if the earth’s atmosphere was absent the moon would have been dark and not red. The lunar eclipse accounts to more than a third of all the eclipses formed in the universe. The total eclipse takes place in three phases that are; partial, penumbral and total. Partial lunar eclipse takes place when a small portion of the moon’s surface goes through the dark shadow formed by the earth’s surface (Kasparek 434). These eclipses occur rarely since they cannot be easily seen during the day, but can be observed easily from the night side of the earth’s surface. They present less than a third of all eclipses formed. The penumbral eclipse occurs during a period when the moon’s surface is slightly covered by an outer shadow formed by the earth. Although some of the sun’s light is reflected on the surface of the moon, this type of eclipse is not clearly visible. It is estimated to form slightly more than a third of all eclipses, but due to the difficulty in visibility they may be more or less visible by a man from the earth. A total penumbral lunar eclipse though rarely happens when the moon lies perfectly in the penumbra of the earth, it comprises about 35% of all eclipses (Kasparek 434). The period taken by the moon to make a complete circle around the earth’s orbit is approximately one month. In the event of the full moon, the satellite traverses under or over the shadows of the earth and bypasses them completely hence no eclipse can occur. It is important to
