Any total eclipse requires perfect alignment of the 3 bodies.

Explanation:

If the order is sun, moon, earth we see a solar eclipse. A lunar eclipse is an identical alignment but in the order sun, earth, moon (hence can only happen at a full moon, just like a solar eclipse can only happen at a new moon.)
