"We know lunar eclipses have also occurred where the sun and moon are both visible at the same time."
hahahahaha thanks for the laugh! Please I hope for the sake of all humanity he is joking. Please be trolling. Please!
Jer9999, it's called a "selenelion" or "selenehelion". Here's a writeup from Wikipedia:
SelenelionIt is possible because the earth is round, which places the horizon low enough so as to not obstruct the observer's view of either the sun or moon (light also tends to refract slightly in such a way as to make the sun and moon appear slightly higher in the sky than they actually are). Had it not been lightly overcast yesterday evening where I live, I would have witnessed this event. The moonrise time was 5:37pm, the sunset time was 5:41pm, and totality was from 5:08pm to 6:23pm. As you can see, the fully eclipsed moon rose just before the sun set (easy when you live on a spherical earth, thus-far unexplained for a FE). I was massively disappointed that it was so cloudy, as this event may not be visible again from this location in my lifetime.
To see this event, it is necessary to to be in a location which will be either at sunrise or sunset during totality. The best place to see this during the next lunar eclipse would be anywhere that will be at dawn or dusk between these times on the 8th of October this year: totality from 1027UTC to 1122UTC, maximum eclipse at 1055UTC.
