by Lunar eclipses occur when Earth's shadow blocks the sun's light, which otherwise reflects off the moon.
There are three types — total, partial and penumbral — with the most dramatic being a total lunar eclipse, in which Earth's shadow completely covers the moon.
The next lunar eclipse will be a partial lunar eclipse on Nov. 19.
The event will be visible from North and South America, Australia, and parts of Europe and Asia.
The eclipse will peak at 4:02 a.m. EST (0902 GMT). The entire event will last about six hours.
