Description: Lunar Eclipse of 2021 May 26. A Lunar Eclipse happens when the Moon enters the Earth's shadow. Total Eclipse happens when the Moon is completely inside the Earth's Umbral Shadow and it turns Red as only the red wavelength passes through the other side of Earth and other wavelengths get scattered away (projecting all of the world's sunrise and sunset). A partial eclipse happens when the Moon is in somepart of Umbra and the other part is in the Penumbra. A Penumbral Eclipse happens when the Moon is in Penumbral shadow of the Earth (though a Penumbral Eclipse is hard to observe as the shadow is very faint to observe by normal naked eye).
