It first enters the penumbral shadow, or outer shadow caused by the Sun shining "around" the Earth. For a "partial" lunar eclipse, the Moon eventually but only partly enters the dark red "umbral shadow." If it doesn't, the eclipse is called a penumbral eclipse.

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.


When is the eclipse movie premiere in London?

There was a partial solar eclipse on 2008-Aug-01, but you probably didn't notice. The last total solar eclipse was 1715-May-03. King George I probably enjoyed the show. There are generally two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses each year. About half of those are partial. Total lunar eclipses seem to be more frequent, because it is visible from the entire dark side of the Earth, while solar eclipses cover a very narrow path across the Earth. The last total LUNAR eclipse in London (and western Europe and most of North America) was on February 21, 2008.
