What is Lunar eclipse?
When the earth is between the sun and the moon, it causes Lunar Eclipses by casting a shadow on the moon’s surface. They are an interesting sight to watch because they can only occur during a full moon.
The partial eclipse ends when the moon moves out of the umbra, passing back into the penumbra.
