For its part, the lunar eclipse refers to the darkening of the Moon that occurs when, in the full Moon phase, this satellite is hidden under the shadow of the Earth.
Eclipses can be predicted by calculating the orbits of the Earth and the Moon, which makes it possible to determine very precisely the path and positions of their shadows. In addition, eclipses are phenomena that manifest themselves in a cyclical way , which entails a greater possibility of prediction.
Returning to the solar eclipse, which occurs at least twice a year, it can be divided into four types: partial, semi-partial, total, or annular. The total is the one that happens the least: every 200 or 300 years at the same point on the planet. As for the total lunar eclipse, there is an aspect that attracts a lot of attention to fans, and it is the reddish tone that the Moon takes , caused by the sunlight diffused by the atmosphere. In the ancient world, this reddish glow from the eclipsed Moon caused panic among those who watched it, who believed it was an indication of impending catastrophes.
