Lunar eclipses have a range they're visible from just like solar eclipses do, but they tend to be much larger since it depends only on if the side of the moon being eclipsed is visible from a given location at the time

Understood, but, do they “pass overhead”? I have only heard this term used in discussions about total solar eclipses.

I mean, an eclipse certainly isn’t moving underground…

Depends which side of the planet you’re on
