Eclipses
Lunar eclipse: When the moon comes exactly opposite side of the earth a full moon occurs. We can see a disk-like shape during the night.
Supermoon: It's the full moon occurred when the distance between moon and earth becomes least.
Blue moon: Once in 2 or 3 years we get an extra full moon which we call the blue moon. It has nothing to do with moon color.
Solar eclipse: When the moon comes between earth and sun this occurs. We can observe this only during lighting side of the earth. The line of sight of some part of the earth is blocked by the sun in this case. So we can see a small spot on the sun during morning time on some part of the earth.
