Without being able to see the diagram, it is not possible to determine what event is being shown.
The diagram does not provide any information about the specific event shown. It only shows the general positions of the Sun, Moon, and Earth. Therefore, it is not possible to determine the exact event depicted in the diagram based on the given information.
To determine the event shown in the diagram, we first need to understand the positions of the Sun, the Moon, and the Earth in the diagram.
Based on the options provided, we can eliminate a few possibilities. If there was a full moon, the Moon would be directly opposite the Sun, resulting in a fully illuminated Moon. However, the diagram does not show a fully illuminated Moon, so we can eliminate the option of a full moon.
Next, we can look at the positions of the Sun and the Moon relative to the Earth. In a lunar eclipse, the Earth is positioned between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. This is indicated by the Earth being between the Sun and the Moon in the diagram. Therefore, the event shown in the diagram is a lunar eclipse.
So, the answer is: lunar eclipse.
