a lunar eclipse only takes a few hours
not all night
Uhm, lunar eclipses aren’t visible. Or did i mix that up?
Yeah they are, they happen when the full moon passes through the Earth’s shadow
Should have invited her to go watch the eclipse together
OP is definitely gay
Lunar eclipse? As in a new moon that happens every month?
No. “New moon” is just the night side of the moon facing us. A lunar eclipse is when the Earth blocks sunlight from the moon, which can only occur on a full moon approximately every six months.
a new moon only blocks the sun periodically because the moon’s orbit has a 5 degree inclination:
