The celestial ballet that the Earth, moon, and sun perform never fails to captivate our imagination. Among the many mesmerising events in this dance is the lunar eclipse, a phenomenon that has inspired awe and wonder since ancient times. When the Earth aligns perfectly between the sun and the moon, it casts a shadow on the lunar surface, resulting in a lunar eclipse. However, not all lunar eclipses are created equal. There are several distinct types, each with its own unique characteristics and visual spectacle.
