How is it possible for the Earth to be casting a shadow on the moon during a lunar eclipse when the sun is entirely in view above the earth’s horizon?
Also assuming that the sun is rising from below the earth to above the horizon, wouldn’t the supposed shadow of earth being cast upon the moon during a lunar eclipse begin at the bottom of the moon and progress upwards as the sun rises?
Why then during a lunar eclipse does the darkening of the moon begin at the top and lower as the sun gets closer? Maybe because it is the energetic response of the moon to react to the sun approaching during that exact moment in time on their paths. I know this may be a bit confusing, but understanding the luminaries of our wonderful, enclosed electrical world can be quite fascinating ^_^
