Answer: Dear Eric,
You can photograph a lunar eclipse during the full moon phase when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon's surface. This usually happens two to four times a year. Lunar eclipses occur because of the relative positions and movements of the Earth, Moon, and Sun.
Evidence from the "An Ancient Machine for Predicting Eclipses" article explains that the Babylonians observed lunar eclipses over 2,500 years ago and were able to predict them using an "analemma," a model of the Sun's annual path in the sky. This evidence supports the claim because it shows that people have been aware of lunar eclipses for a long time and have developed tools to predict them.
The Earth, Moon, and Sun Sim also supports the claim by allowing users to simulate the movement of the Moon and Earth in relation to the Sun. The simulator shows that a lunar eclipse can only occur during a full moon phase when the Moon is directly opposite the Sun in the sky.
Finally, the Moon Sphere Model can be used as evidence to show how the Earth's shadow falls on the Moon during a lunar eclipse. When the model is illuminated by a light source, it shows that the Moon passes through the Earth's shadow during a lunar eclipse.
So, Eric, you can photograph a lunar eclipse during the full moon phase when the Moon passes through the Earth's shadow. I hope this information helps!
