Upcoming Lunar Eclipses - 2007 thru 2015

A lunar eclipse occurs during a Full Moon when the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon and when the Moon passes through some of the Earth's shadow. The Earth's shadow has two parts:

Umbra - dark inner shadow. Total lunar eclipses occur when the entire Moon passes through the umbral shadow. Partial lunar eclipses occur when only a portion of the Moon passes through the umbral shadow.

Penumbra - faint outer shadow. Penumbral lunar eclipses occur when the Moon passes through the penumbral shadow but are very difficult to observer so are of internest mainly to astonomers.
