If the entire Moon enters the Earth's penumbral shadow, it experiences a penumbral lunar eclipse.

When will the next Lunar Eclipse be in the world?
There are three types of lunar eclipses; Total, Partial and Penumbral. During a Total eclipse of the Moon, the Moon goes completely into the "umbra", or the darkest part of the Earth's shadow. In a total eclipse, the Moon is entirely shadowed. During a Partial eclipse, the Moon completely into the "penumbra" or partial shadow, and only partially within the umbra. In an partial eclipse, the Moon is only partly shadowed. During a Penumbral eclipse, the Moon goes into the penumbra of the Earth's shadow, but misses the umbra completely. In a penumbral eclipse, the Moon is dimmed, but not in shadow. In most cases, the average person will not even notice a penumbral eclipse of the moon unless the dimming is at least 75%.

The next two will be very light penumbral eclipses, which will be unnoticable. The December 31 partial eclipse will cover only about 8 % of the moon, and will be visible from India and Asia. The next visible total eclipse will be on December 21, 2010, and will be visible from North America.
