It is possible (atmospheric effects as stated by others/the article), but not in a useful sense of having something that looks impressively like a lunar eclipse.
In other trivia, expect that a solar eclipse will also happen somewhere on Earth in any month that has a lunar eclipse. (exactly because of similar alignment issues)

- gweinberg 4y agoIsn't that only true the other way around? The earth is bigger than the moon, so I'd think sometimes you'd get a total lunar eclipse when there's only a partial corresponding solar eclipse, and diddly when there's only a partial lunar eclipse.
- supernova87a 4y agoOh, I don't mean exactly the same magnitude of eclipse -- just that whether annular/partial/etc, if there is a lunar eclipse, there will generally be a solar eclipse (of any type).
