Nodal precession of the lunar nodes as the Earth revolves around the Sun causes an eclipse season approximately every six months. A lunar eclipse can occur only when the full Moon is near either lunar node (within 11° 38' ecliptic longitude), while a solar eclipse can occur only when the new Moon is near either lunar node (within 17° 25').

Central lunar eclipse is a total lunar eclipse during which the Moon passes near and through the centre of Earth's shadow, contacting the antisolar point. [11] This type of lunar eclipse is relatively rare. The relative distance of the Moon from Earth at the time of an eclipse can affect the eclipse's duration.
