Talk:Lunar eclipse

my idea on the refrakted color of the earthshadow
i made a picture to the genesis of the colors in the earthshadow as seen on the moon. i think i can see a blue line at the border of shadow, coming from upper-atmosphere-refraktion stronger affecting to blue light. i would also say there must be a black part between the border and the beginning red center shadow, and too there should be a blueisch or green center in the shadow. i find the animated gif-picture in " blood moon "-paragraph somewhat displaying what i mean. my picture (it is free): [img]https://up.picr.de/44273482wf.jpg[/img]. sure its no solid sience of mine, but maybe of interest .--Konfressor (talk) 23:55, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

Eye safety--absurd statement
The article says it's safe to look at an eclipse of the Moon without eye protection because it is less bright than the full Moon. But that seems a bit silly, since it's perfectly safe to look at the full Moon. Uporządnicki (talk) 11:28, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes. I have removed that wording. Thanks for bringing this up. HiLo48 (talk) 22:52, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

The earth is not flat
During a lunar eclipse, the Earth passes between the moon and the sun. When that happens, the sun projects Earth’s shadow onto the moon. When this happens, you can actually see the Earth’s shadow if you look up at the moon. If you do this, you’ll see that there is a round shadow, not a flat one. 2001:16A2:7A90:C000:4179:4598:2CFF:56EE (talk) 14:16, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 4 June 2023
In the "Occurrence" section the language is vauge:

At least two lunar eclipses and as many as five occur every year, although total lunar eclipses are significantly less common.

Should be changed to

At least two lunar eclipses and as many as five occur every year, although total lunar eclipses are significantly less common than partial lunar eclipses. Cnich43 (talk) 01:25, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

 * @User:Cnich43 Well, I couldn't say whether it was "vauge" or not, but it certainly wasn't vague. It was just plain incorrect. Uporządnicki (talk) 14:55, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Caption for picture in “View from the Moon” section could be improved
The current caption starts with: ”A painting by Lucien Rudaux showing how a solar eclipse might appear when viewed from the lunar surface.”

but this whole article has been talking about lunar eclipses, not solar eclipses! I realize that it technically becomes a solar eclipse when viewed from the moon, but I think that’s hard to understand for the target audience of this article.

I would propose:

A painting by Lucien Rudaux showing how a lunar eclipse might appear when viewed from the lunar surface. (And technically, a lunar eclipse would actually be a solar eclipse when viewed from the moon!) 38.126.98.206 (talk) 01:49, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
