A penumbral lunar eclipse is a phenomenon that occurs when the Sun, the Earth and the Moon form an imperfect alignment in the astral sky. This phenomenon causes the Earth to partially block the rays of the Sun. Since the Sun’s rays are unable to reach the moon, a shadow is cast that causes subtle dimming of the lunar surface. When the moon moves through the faint shadow of the Earth, it leads to the occurrence of a penumbral lunar eclipse. There are two other types of eclipses namely the total lunar eclipse and the partial lunar eclipse. ALSO READ: Is Lunar Eclipse Visible In UAE?
