A lunar eclipse occurs when the full moon passes through the Earth's shadow.
Yes, there were several eclipses in 2012. There was a total solar eclipse on November 13, 2012, and a lunar eclipse on November 28, 2012.

Yes, the moon can have shadows. Shadows on the moon occur when sunlight is blocked by the moon itself or when one part of the moon blocks sunlight from reaching another part, such as during a lunar eclipse.
The orbit of the moon is tilted by about 5 degrees so this means there is not an eclipse at every New of Full moon.
