A lunar eclipse happens when the sun, Earth, and moon line up just right, with Earth positioned between the sun and moon. This causes the Earth to create a shadow on the moon. In a total lunar eclipse, the Earth’s shadow covers all of the moon.
当太阳、地球和月亮正好排成一条直线，且地球位于太阳和月亮之间时，就会发生月食。 这导致地球在月球上产生阴影。 在月全食中，地球的阴影覆盖了整个月球。
Another kind of eclipse is a solar eclipse. In a solar eclipse, the moon gets in a position where it blocks light from the sun, causing a partial or full shadow on Earth.
另一种日食是日食。 在日食中，月球处于阻挡太阳光的位置，在地球上造成部分或全部阴影。
A total lunar eclipse can also be called a blood moon. It makes the moon appear reddish-orange, similar to the element copper. The color comes from small amounts of sunlight passing through the Earth’s atmosphere.
月全食也可以称为血月。 它使月亮呈现红橙色，类似于铜元素。 颜色来自穿过地球大气层的少量阳光。

She noted that different civilizations have observed lunar eclipses for thousands of years. This helped ancient people learn things about the behaviors of the sun, moon, and stars. “They were looking at the night sky and they had a much brighter vision than we do today,” Ortiz said.
