6. Types of Lunar Eclipses Partial Lunar Eclipse – When a portion of the Moon passes through Earth’s umbral shadow Total Lunar Eclipse – When the entire moon passes through the Earth’s umbral shadow Next Lunar Eclipse???

7. Solar Eclipses When the Earth is in the Moon’s shadow Only occur at New Moon, when the moon passes between the Sun and the Earth.

8. Types of Solar Eclipses Partial Solar Eclipse – when only the Moon’s penumbral shadow strikes Earth Total Solar Eclipse – very brief, when the Moon’s dark umbral shadow moves across the Earth’s surface
