This can occur only when the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned (in "syzygy") exactly, or very closely so, with the Earth in the middle . Hence, a lunar eclipse can occur only the night of a full moon . The type and length of an eclipse depend upon the Moon's location relative to its orbital nodes . </P> <P> A total lunar eclipse has the direct sunlight completely blocked by the earth's shadow . The only light seen is refracted through the earth's shadow . This light looks red for the same reason that the sunset looks red, due to rayleigh scattering of the more blue light . Because of its reddish color, a total lunar eclipse is sometimes called a blood moon . </P>
