The darker complete shadow is the "umbra". The lighter partial shadow is the penumbra.
a lunar eclipseThat's called a lunar eclipse.It goes through most of the same phases as a solar eclipse, but it's easier to watch by eye. Even better with binoculars, telescope, or a camera with zoom.
a solor eclipse happens when the moon passes in front of the earth and son at a perfect angle and cast a shadow so every thing would be in total and upper most darkness unless you are far or not close to the eclipse sight.
Known locations where Twilight: Eclipse was filmed were only in Vancouver, Canada.

The white shadow is most known to people.
It is known as an eclipse. If the moon is casting a shadow on Earth, it is a solar eclipse. If the Earth is casting a shadow on the moon, it is a lunar eclipse.
When the moon's shadow falls upon the earth this is known as a solar eclipse.
There are actually three identified shadow regions in an eclipse; Umbra, penumbra, and antumbra.The umbra is the region where the light is totally obscured.The penumbra (partially shadowed) is the region of partial eclipse - the light is diminished, but not totally.The antumbra is that rather more distant region in the Umbra, where the light source may be perceived as a circle. A lesser known term.

The main parts of a lunar eclipse are the penumbral phase, when the moon enters Earth's faint outer shadow; the partial phase, when part of the moon is in Earth's dark inner shadow called the umbra; and the total phase, when the entire moon is within the umbra, giving it a reddish hue known as a "blood moon."
Because the moon is small compared to the Earth, the shadow it casts isn't very large. The small size of the shadow and the rotation of the Earth mean that where you need to be to see a solar eclipse is very specific and changes from eclipse to eclipse. To see the next total solar eclipse, you'll have to travel to Northeastern Australia or North New Zealand on November 13, 2012. Good luck!
Shadows have two parts, the umbra and the penumbra. The umbra is the darker part of the shadow, in which all of the light from the source is blocked by the object casting the shadow. The penumbra, also known as the half-shadow, is the grayish part along the edge of a shadow in which only some of the light from the source is blocked.During a solar eclipse, if you are within the umbra of the moon's shadow, you are witnessing a total eclipse, and if you are within the penumbra of the moon's shadow, you are witnessing a partial eclipse.
In that case, a Solar Eclipse occurs. It can be a partial or total eclipse depending on the positions at the time of the eclipse. In total Solar Eclipses, the sun is completely blocked out for a short time in some parts of the world. Likewise, Earth's shadow falling on the Moon is known as a lunar eclipse.
A solar eclipse happens during the day because it occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, casting its shadow on Earth's surface. The Moon blocks the sunlight, causing a temporary darkness on Earth known as the eclipse. However, not everyone on Earth experiences a solar eclipse during the day as the eclipse's visibility depends on the viewer's location.
When the Sun, Moon, and Earth are in alignment, it results in a phenomena known as a lunar or solar eclipse. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. During a solar eclipse, the Moon is between the Sun and the Earth, blocking the sunlight from reaching certain regions on Earth.
A total or partial eclipse of the sun, also known as a solar eclipse, is caused by the moon passing across the face of the sun, so casting a shadow on the earth.
As far as is known to the public, nobody has ever been on the surface of the moon during a lunar eclipse.
