The first moon phase is the New Moon, next is the Waxing Crescent, then there is the First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Third Quarter, and Waning Crescent. It takes one month for the moon to orbit the earth once. A lunar eclipse can only occur the night of a full moon. A lunar eclipse happens when the moon passes directly behind the earth into its shadow. A Solar Eclipse is a type of eclipse that occurs when the moon passes between the sun and earth and the moon fully or partially blocks the sun. A Blue Moon only occurs part of a year and is just a tinted blue. It is an extra full moon where instead of twelve full moons there would be thirteen a year.
