What is another word for lunar eclipse?
Pronunciation: [lˈuːnəɹ ɪklˈɪps] (IPA) 
A lunar eclipse, also known as a blood moon or a total eclipse of the moon, is an astronomical event that occurs when the moon passes directly behind the Earth into its shadow, giving it a reddish hue. Other synonyms for lunar eclipse include a penumbral eclipse, which occurs when the moon passes through the Earth's penumbra, and a partial eclipse, which occurs when only a portion of the moon is covered by the Earth's shadow. A total eclipse of the moon is the most spectacular and rarest form of lunar eclipse, and can be seen from anywhere on Earth where the moon is visible.
