Lunar eclipse

I have seen the earths shadow on the moon with my own eyes many times.  It is curved.  What's up with that?

It's caused by The Shadow Object.

I believe that happens when the Earth is between the sun and the moon, when creates an umbra for the moon, giving it that effect.

Duh it's caused by the "shadow object".  The shadow object has a name.  EARTH.

With the distances and sizes in FE, Lunar eclipses would not look like they do in real life. The shadow is round because the Earth is a sphere.
