The reason the moon can be seen at all when it's totally eclipsed is that ....
The spacial relationship between the earth and moon is rather
serendipitous and unique in this solar system at least. We are blessed
with spectacular elclipses because among other things the apparent
diameter of the earth and moon are very nearly the same from our
viewpoint.Slight variations in the orbits create headaches for
photographers.
