It is not possible to occur moon eclipse in any phase because if sunlight would reach the moon surface directly, it is not a moon eclipse Further, lunar eclipse can last upto a few hours because the shadow of Earth is greater because of its size compared to the moon's size and it takes a while until moon is completely out of that shadow. Lastly, a lunar eclipse doesn't create an eerie color in the sky rather a red color due to infrared radiations.
