Answer:

the sun

Step-by-step explanation:

The typical lunar eclipse happens when the Sun, Earth and moon are all aligned 180 degrees apart from each other in the sky. When this happens, the Earth casts a shadow onto the moon, so the Sun should not be visible at all if you can still see the moon.
