What is a Lunar Eclipse?

An Eclipse occurs when one celestial body moves into the shadow of another celestial body, like the moon moving into the shadow of another planet. There are two types of eclipses, Solar Eclipse and Lunar Eclipse. It is a Lunar Eclipse when the Earth’s shadow obstructs the sun’s light, which otherwise reflects off the moon. In total there are three types of Lunar Eclipses, Total, Partial, and Penumbral. The people get the full brunt of the Lunar Eclipse when it is total as the earth’s shadow completely covers the moon.

On November 30, people will be able to see a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse. Penumbral Lunar Eclipse has the least visibility and only the people with trained eyes can understand the difference. In a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse, the earth only casts a faint subtle shadow on the Moon.
