A lunar eclipse takes place only when there is a Full Moon and a total lunar eclipse occurs when the sun, earth, and the moon are in one line. The umbral stage is an interesting stage where the moon is in the full dark shadow of the earth. This year a lunar eclipse is all set to occur on May 26, 2021. A total eclipse is a result of Earth’s shadow blocking the sun’s light, which otherwise reflects off the moon’s surface.
