There has long been confusion about exactly who gets in front of whom during an eclipse. The following diagrams and explanations may help you sort out what is happening when you see either a solar eclipse or a lunar eclipse.
Eclipses are named for the body that is being darkened by a shadow, either totally or partially. Therefore, if you have a Solar Eclipse, the sun will be covered by a shadow. If you have a Lunar Eclipse, the Moon will be covered by a shadow.
