Question about eclipse calcs

[SheevShezarrine]

Knowing the time frame of the feat, how do I calculate the energy expending in manually causing a lunar eclipse? The celestial bodies in question are just our irl sun, Earth, and moon.

obviously depends on context of the feat but why not just calc the KE of the moon moving at whatever speed it did

 

[It_is_i_wyatt]

if the sun is being moved and the movement is fast enough to be noticeable then its probably moving at FTL speed right

Pretty sure the sun being moved is never used as an assumption except in wank calcs. Plus, I'm referring to a lunar eclipse, which is where the moon moves into the Earth's shadow and turns ruddy/red in shade, not a solar eclipse where moon moves in front of the sun

nvm then i just assumed that this

The celestial bodies in question are just our irl sun, Earth, and moon.

meant the sun was also being moved

if its only the moon then its just a basic KE calc, figure out the speed the moons being moved at and then put that and the mass of the moon into a KE calculator
