Lunar Eclise

The lunar eclipse is an event of the sun , the earth and the moon lie
on one line so that the shadow of the earth covers a part or whole
moon.The lunar eclipses that occur on this earth distinguished to
several types ,they are total lunar eclipse,partial lunar eclipse and
lunar eclipe penumbra.

The process of the lunar eclipse begins when the earth between the
sun and the moon on the same line.The result is the sunlight can not
reach the moon because it is blocked by the earth.

A total lunar eclipse is when the moon is right in the umbra (the
darkest area). On a partial lunar eclipse,the earth is not entirely
blocking the moon from the sun.while the other half of the surface of
the moon is in the penumbra area. So there is still some sunlight that
reaches the surface of the moon.On the lunar eclipse panumbra ,all
parts of the moon are in the penumbra.So the moon can still be seen
with a gloomy color

There is also a very rare lunar eclipse phenomenon called super total
lunar eclipse red blood.This kind of lunar eclipse occurs due at the
time of occurence of the total lunar eclipse.The moon position is in
the position of the closest approach to the earth, this making the
moon seen larger an brighter then usual and at the same time only
red color of sunlight penetrated to reflected by the earths atosphere.
