as Lunar eclipse is when the earth passes between the moon and the sun. the sun can't pass between the earth and the moon, we would fry lol. A solar eclipse is when the moon passes between the earth and the sun. mars can not pass between the moon and the sun.

just thought i would clear that up.

the one australia saw was earth going between the sun and the moon blocking the light so there was no reflection, but the redish glow is the reflecion of light from mars...

no, the redish glow is from the suns light passing through the edges of our atmosphere, and being bent.

Lunar: an eclipse in which the full moon passes partially or wholly through the umbra of the earth's shadow

from M-W.com
There are TWO(2) and only two kinds of eclipse. A lunar eclipse

and a solar eclipse


there is no eclipse visible from earth through the naked eye that involve mars.

the only eclipse that isn't a total eclipse is when you are in the penumbra of a solar eclips. there is NO partial eclipse of the moon. and again there is NO lunar OR solar eclipse that involves the planet mars, or ANY other celestial body, because an eclipse can only include THREE(3) celestial bodies. in the case of an eclipse involving the earth, it is always, ALWAYS the sun, moon and the planet earth.

and btw malekith, solar eclipse's happen durring the day, lunar elipse's happen at night.


there that should clear everything up. class dismissed

I dont think it was actually a propper eclypse but what u sed about the resish glow was wrong... that was light reflecting off mars (yeh i double checked on the news n stuff ) not the light bending in the atmosphere other wise it would have been multi coloured like solar flare... you are kinda right about it being a lunar eclypse, but not fully correct, was a smige different.

/failing does not mean you are incorrect. Apparently it was still a normal eclipse but my dad got an email that has been circulating since 2003 saying that mars was going in front on the moon, but i now realise that that was incorrect because that would be F***ing close, and we would have been able to see it clear as.
