The term used when both the setting Sun and eclipsed rising full Moon are observed at the same time is selenehelion. At first glance, this seems an impossibility since for an eclipse to occur the Sun, Earth and Moon must all line up, and if we can view both the full Moon and the Sun simultaneously, one or the other must be offset. Thanks to atmospheric refraction, however, this phenomenon can occasionally be seen because light refracting through layers of our atmosphere acts to make a celestial object appear slightly higher in the sky than is the case.
