It's a lunar eclipse, the Earth is eclipsing the moon, preventing it from reflecting the light of the sun

A lunar eclipse usually results in a red moon, since the moon is lit with red light from all the sunsets on Earth simultaneously

It's not in pure shadow, since the Earth's atmosphere acts as a lens and bends some of the light inward towards the moon

But it clearly says lunar eclipse

But it clearly doesn't depict a lunar eclipse
