The Lunar Eclipse is a phenomenon which occurs two to five times a year, when a darkened area appears on the surface of the Moon. Unlike the Solar Eclipse which is seen from only a small strip of land on the Earth's surface, the Lunar Eclipse is an event which seen by anyone who can see the Moon in their sky.
Proposed Mechanisms
Electromagnetic Acceleration
Under the celestial model of Electromagnetic Acceleration the Sun's rays of light are bending in parabolic arcs upwards in directions around it. The phases between New Moon and Full Moon are caused by the angle of rays against the Moon at different positions in proximity to the Sun. The Lunar Eclipse occurs when the Moon occasionally moves beyond the boundary edge of sunlight.
See Lunar Eclipse due to Electromagnetic Acceleration
Shadow Object
It has been suggested that there may be an unseen celestial body which moves around the Sun, located over the daylight side of the Earth, which occasionally intersects the light of the Sun and Moon to cause the eclipse.

Prediction
Prediction in astronomy is generally achieved through assessment of patterns. Astronomers use cycles to predict the recurrence of the eclipses.
