Glossary

Eclipse, lunar:
an eclipse in which the Moon passes through the shadow cast by the Earth. It may be total (the Moon passing completely through the Earth's umbra), partial (the Moon passing partially through the Earth's umbra at maximum eclipse), or penumbral (the Moon passing only through the Earth's penumbra).

Umbra:
the portion of a shadow cone in which none of the light from an extended light source can be observed.

Penumbra:
the portion of a shadow in which light from an extended source is partially but not completely cut off by an intervening body; the area of partial shadow surrounding the umbra.
