What Happens During an Eclipse of the Moon? The full Moon and the Sun are exactly opposite each other in our skies, and the Earth gets between them. The Earth's shadow falls on the Moon, darkening it over the course of several hours. Such a lunar eclipse is visible to everyone on the Earth who can see the Moon.
