Lunar Eclipse June 5, 2020: What’s penumbral lunar eclipse, how it occurs? - The Indian Express

Lunar Eclipse June 2020: Lunar eclipses are of three kinds – total lunar eclipse, partial lunar eclipse, and penumbral lunar eclipse.

A penumbral lunar eclipse happens when the Sun, Earth, and the Moon are imperfectly aligned.

When the Moon moves through the faint, outer part of Earth’s shadow, we witness a penumbral lunar eclipse from the Earth.

Apart from this lunar eclipse in June, the year 2020 has two more lunar eclipses lined up.
