[ lunar eclipse](https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/LEdecade/LEdecade2021.html) can occur only during a full moon when the sun, Earth and moon align and the moon passes into Earth’s shadow. Partial eclipses occur when the sun, Earth and moon don’t completely align, so only part of the moon passes into shadow. [Definitions of a supermoon vary](https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/news/922/what-is-a-supermoon/), but the term generally denotes a full moon that is brighter and closer to Earth than normal and thus appears larger in the night sky. This less dramatic version of a lunar eclipse happens when the moon moves through the penumbra, or the faint, outer part of Earth’s shadow. [ total solar eclipse will occur on April 20](https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEdecade/SEdecade2021.html), visible to those in Australia, New Zealand, Southeast Asia and Antarctica. When the full moon moves into Earth’s shadow, it darkens, but it won’t disappear.

But most months in our calendar last 30 or 31 days, so the months and moon phases don’t always align, resulting in a blue moon about every 2½ years. The moon also occurs with the end of Lunar New Year celebrations, which is the Lantern Festival.
