5 Facts about Lunar Eclipses


A lunar eclipse on Feb. 20, 2008

On Feb. 20, 2008 there was a full lunar eclipse. I was able to photograph it when it was in the partial stage. I was surprised that the moon changed color even when the eclipse was partial. The photograph above was taken at 300 mm. The shutter was open .6 seconds.

1. A lunar eclipse is when the moon goes past the earth's shadow.
2. A lunar eclipse can only happen during a full moon.
3. A lunar eclipse will turn the moon orange.
4. Some type of lunar eclipse--full or partial--happens 2 to 4 times a year.
5. A lunar eclipse happens when the earth falls between the sun and moon.
