Penumbral lunar eclipses, where the moon entirely misses the umbra, are always difficult to see. The moon just gets slightly dimmer, and if you're not using sensitive instruments, you won't even be able to tell.

The new moon, because it appears invisible to the observer, due to sunlight not hitting the moons surface

When is there another eclipse?

On July 1 two weeks after the lunar eclipse) a partial solar eclipse will just touch Antarctica- (would be great to be on the snowfield and see a total eclipse!)On November 25 another partial solar eclipse in the southern hemisphere from the south pacific around Antarctica to the Indian Ocean.A total lunar eclipse will occur two weeks later on Dec. 10 It will be shorter than the June eclipse and from anywhere where there is night at 14:00 Universal Time. the Moon is directly over Guam at the moment of greatest eclipse. Each year there are most often two to four solar eclipses and lunar eclipses.see the site in the Related links and sources below for more information.


Is it bad to look outside during a lunar eclipse?

It is o.k. to view a lunar eclipse, because unlike a solar eclipse you are not viewing direct sunlight which can be harmful and blinding but rather reflected light. When viewing a lunar eclipse you would see even less light than viewing a full moon which we know is safe.


Which type of eclipse may be visible to all the people on one side of Earth?

A solar eclipse covers a very narrow path on the Earth, so usually not many people get a chance to see one. It doesn't help that the Earth is 75% water, and some solar eclipses never touch land at all. Lunar eclipses happen on the Moon, not on the Earth, so the entire night-side of the Earth can see it. As for how long the eclipse lasts, solar eclipses last longer because the Earth is bigger than the Moon is. However, the path of totality travels quickly over the Earth, and if you're standing on the Earth watching the eclipse, the eclipse will be over - for YOU - quickly, because the Moon's shadow has moved on. If you could be in a supersonic aircraft keeping up with it, you would be able to see that it actually lasts longer, but from one spot on Earth, a solar eclipse comes and goes VERY quickly.

When would you see a partial eclipse and when would you see a full eclipse?

I am going to show you a list of any type of an eclipse:A partial solar eclipse on January 4.A total lunar eclipse on June 15.A partial solar eclipse on July 1.A partial solar eclipse on November 25.A total lunar eclipse on December 10.


What is a lunar eclipse on the moon?

A partial or total obscuring of the moon by the earth's shadow. Are you asking "If we are on the moon, what would a lunar eclipse be?" In that case, it would be something like what we call a solar eclipse, but it would be the earth obscuring the sun. I think it might more properly be called an occultation; the earth doesn't perfectly block the sun, it literally blots it out (in the case of a total lunar eclipse) for a while until it emerges from the other edge or limb of the earth.


What are the two main types of eclipses?

There are eclipses of the sun (solar), and eclipses of the moon (lunar). At different places on the Earth, each of those may be total or partial. Sometimes only a partial eclipse is visible anywhere.


If you were on the moon during a lunar eclipse what kind of eclipse would you experience?

It would still be a lunar eclipse just on the moon and everything would be red. If you are on earth and a Lunar or a Solar eclipse happens than you are actually light than you would be regularly. To find out how much you weigh you take your weight and divide it by 1.5. So a lunar eclipse is just the same a lunar eclipse.


What is a partial lunar eclipse?

A total Lunar Eclipse . We see the Moon, but it often appears red/grey in colour. A partial Lunar Eclipse . We see the Moon in two luminosities. The brighter luminecsense is the part which remains in full Sunlight. The duller (red/grey/ black) is the Earth's shadow crossing the Moon's surface. NB Lunar eclipses occur only at or very near FULL MOON. When you see the Moon in Gibbous/half/crescent shape it is NOT the Earth's shadow, but the angle of direct sunlight shining on the Moon.


Why are you most likely to see a full solar eclipse then a lunar eclipse?

You would most likely see a full lunar eclipse


When a solar eclipse does sunlight penetrate the umbra?

In a solar eclipse, no sunlight penetrates the umbra. This is because the umbra is basically the shadow of the Earth, so in this case, the Earth is receiving the sunlight from the Sun, while both the umbra and moon are in the dark.


What would you see if you were on the moon during a lunar eclipse?

From the perspective of a lunar observer, it would be a solar eclipse; the Earth would pass between the Sun and the Moon.


How beautiful would it be to watch lunar eclipse closer from moon?

If your on the moon it wouldn't be a lunar eclipse because the earth would between you and the sun so I giuss it would be more like a solar eclipse

Do lunar occur every 3 years?

Typically, lunar eclipses occur once or twice a year. Because more than half of all lunar eclipses are partial, and because lunar eclipses are visible only from the side of the Earth where the Moon is up, you would generally be able to see a total lunar eclipse every other year or every 3rd year from your location. The rest of the eclipses would be either partial, or not visible from your location. You can check the NASA Eclipse Web Page to see the catalog of all eclipses from 2000 BCE to 3000 AD at the link below.
