Re: [Utah-astronomy] Lunar Eclipse Question

Yes, an eclipse, lunar and solar, can only happen during full moon.

I'm sure this is an obvious question for you folks, but why is the lunar

eclipse always at a full moon? (We may not get to see it tonight, but I'd love to at least learn something). Thanks for putting up with what I'm cringing to think is a dumb question.
