During a total lunar eclipse, the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon and blocks any direct sunlight from reaching the Moon. The Moon does not have its own light but shines because its surface reflects the Sun's rays. The astronomical term for this type of alignment is syzygy, which comes from the Greek word for being paired together. Total eclipses of the Moon happen at Full Moon when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned to form a line. Business Date to Date (exclude holidays).
