eclipse lunar; eclipse de Luna: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que según la Ortografía de la lengua española, las voces "sol", "luna" y "tierra" se escriben con mayúscula inicial en contextos astronómicos, cuando se utilizan como los nombres propios de la estrella, el satélite y el planeta, respectivamente. Así pues, a la hora de emplear estas palabras en construcciones como "eclipse de Sol" o "eclipse de Luna", que se refieren a un fenómeno astronómico, lo recomendable es escribir con mayúscula "Sol" y "Luna". Sin embargo, lo indicado es la minúscula cuando se usan los adjetivos que indican el tipo: "eclipse solar", "eclipse lunar", "eclipse total" [...] 1, record 1, Spanish, - eclipse%20lunar
