    • Stages of a total lunar eclipse

      [*]Penumbral eclipse begins: This starts when the outer (and lighter) part of the Earth's shadow begins moving across the Moon
      [*]Partial eclipse begins: This stage takes hold when the darker, inner part of the Earth's shadow (umbra) begins covering the Moon
      [*]Total eclipse begins: Also called totality, this occurs when the umbra completely covers the Moon, turning it a reddish brown colour
      [*]Maximum eclipse: The mid-point of totality
      [*]Total eclipse ends: The umbra starts moving away from the Moon's face after totality
      [*]Partial eclipse ends: Earth's umbra completely leaves the surface of the Moon
      [*]Penumbral eclipse ends: The outer part of the shadow (penumbra) completely moves away from the Moon
