lunar eclipses are pretty common
Actually, they both occur with roughly the same frequency. Every year has at least two of each.
The difference is that a lunar eclipse is visible everywhere on Earth where the moon is visible, whereas a solar eclipse is visible over a smaller area (and totality over a much smaller area).
