Related: The ultimate guide to observing the moon During the middle of the eclipse, we get totality, when the moon is completely inside the umbra and turns a characteristic red. The next phase is called the partial eclipse when the moon enters the dark part of the Earth's shadow this is also called the umbral phase. Looking at the moon there isn't any obvious difference – it gets a little darker, and some people say it looks a little more yellow or brownish than usual, but there's no dark shadow line. The first and last is the penumbral eclipse when the moon is in the penumbra, the lighter part of the Earth's shadow. When the nodes are in line with the Earth, moon and sun, the moon will cross in front of the sun (when it would be a new moon) and passes through the Earth's shadow (when it would be a full moon).Ī lunar eclipse has several phases. Lunar and solar eclipses happen close to each other because for an eclipse to happen at all, the moon needs to be at one of the points in its orbit where it crosses the plane of Earth's orbit.
