Lunar Eclipse Dates and Times
Lunar Eclipse Dates and Times
There are many types of lunar eclipses. The first is a
penumbral eclipse
. This type of eclipse does not cause a noticeable darkening of the moon's surface. A
partial lunareclipse
occurs when only a portion of the Moon enters the umbra. A special type of penumbral eclipse is a
total penumbral eclipse
, during which the Moon lies exclusivelywithin the Earth's penumbra. Total penumbral eclipses are rare, and when these occur, thatportion of the Moon which is closest to the umbra can appear somewhat darker than therest of the Moon. A
partial lunar eclipse
occurs when only a portion of the Moon entersthe umbra. When the Moon travels completely into the Earth's umbra, one observes a
totallunar eclipse
. A
selenelion
or
selenehelion
is a type of lunar eclipse when, due to themoon's proximity to the ecliptic, both the sun and the eclipsed moon can be observed atthe same time. This particular arrangement has led to the phenomenon being referred to asa
horizontal eclipse
. It can only be observed just prior to sunset or just after sunrise.
