Lunar eclipses don’t get the same fanfare as solar eclipses.
But you can watch the whole thing naked-eyed. I remember I saw my first one while lying on the hood of my car...
Solar eclipses get songs written about them.
My cat has shadow but we charge $42.50 to see it.
Nicias delayed leading the Athenian expeditionary force away from Syracuse because of a lunar eclipse on August 27, 413 B.C., because the soothsayers told him to wait 27 days. In the end most of the forces were killed or captured. Athens kept fighting until 404 but it was greatly weakened by the losses in Sicily.
Lunar eclipse- way cool
Total solar eclipse- an other worldly experience.
There’s a reason for that, having been in the zone of totality of a solar eclipse a few years ago.
