About lunar eclipses:

• A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth’s shadow “hides” the Moon, which becomes dark and, therefore, invisible in the sky for a few minutes;
• This happens because the Earth is positioned exactly between the Moon and the Sun, causing the planet’s shadow to be projected onto our natural satellite;
• There are three types of lunar eclipse: total (with the Moon completely covered), partial (in which only part of it is hidden by the Earth’s shadow) and penumbral (when the planet’s shadow is not dark enough to reduce the brightness of the moon). Moon, which is a bit greyish);
• The two lunar eclipses in 2025 will be total and visible from Brazil.
