The 19 pages that link to Lunar eclipse, each with the reason it gives.

• Babylonian astronomyRelated: Eclipses were among the conspicuous, recurring phenomena recorded and predicted.

• EclipticBroader topic: A lunar eclipse requires the full Moon to pass near the ecliptic plane.

• Lunar phaseCompared with: An eclipse temporarily darkens the Moon; ordinary phases come from viewing its sunlit half.

• Solar eclipseCompared with: The body entering shadow is the Moon, reversing the alignment of a solar eclipse.

• OccultationCompared with: A lunar eclipse is caused by Earth’s shadow, not by a body passing across the Moon.

• MoonRelated: A lunar eclipse reveals the Moon crossing through Earth’s shadow.

• Al-BiruniRelated: Differences in eclipse timing observed from separated locations can help estimate their longitude difference.

• MoonlightCompared with: It interrupts the direct sunlight that ordinarily supplies moonlight.

• Full moonCompared with: Ancient eclipse records sharpened understanding of the alignments associated with full moons.

• Draconic monthRelated: A lunar eclipse requires the full Moon to occur near a node.

• New moonCompared with: It requires the opposite alignment from a solar eclipse at new moon.

• Saros cycleBroader topic: Each lunar Saros series links successive eclipses of this kind.

• Harvest MoonCompared with: A Harvest Moon may coincide with an eclipse, but the seasonal name does not imply one.

• Orbit of the MoonBroader topic: A lunar eclipse requires full Moon near a node of the tilted orbit.

• SupermoonCompared with: A supermoon describes phase and distance, not an eclipse; the events only sometimes coincide.

• Spherical EarthRelated: Earth’s consistently curved shadow on the Moon supports a spherical shape.

• Earth’s shadowBroader topic: Observers can use the Moon crossing the shadow to study its shape and structure.

• Eclipse cycleRelated: Lunar eclipses recur within the same alignment framework as solar eclipses.

• Ibn YunusRelated: Records of lunar eclipses helped establish and compare celestial positions across time.
