In a penumbral lunar eclipse, only the faint or diffuse outer shadow of Earth (known as penumbra) falls on the moon\u2019s face. This kind of lunar eclipse is much more subtle, and much more difficult to observe, than either a total or partial eclipse of the moon. There is never a dramatic darkening of the moon, as in when the Earth&#8217;s darkest shadow (umbra) moves over the Moon during a partial lunar eclipse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/20200111_penumbralLE.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6671\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/20200111_penumbralLE.jpg 960w, https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/20200111_penumbralLE-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/20200111_penumbralLE-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/20200111_penumbralLE-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/20200111_penumbralLE-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>At best, at mid-eclipse (3.10 am), very\nobservant people or by taking photo of the full moon using a digital camera\nwill notice a slight dark shading (90% dimmed) on the upper left side of moon\u2019s\nface.
