No it's not. Neither a lunar eclipse nor a full moon is a set, so neither can be a subset of the other.

Perhaps you mean that the set of lunar eclipses is a proper subset of the set of full moons? It makes more sense to say this without set theory, IMO.

I think I'm going to have a great game tonight. This thread is making me a better official.
