While – 2024 is certain to have many astronomical phenomena. One of them is a lunar eclipse.
There will be two lunar eclipses in 2024. For more details, see the following review.
What is a Lunar Eclipse
Quoting the official website of Surabaya State University, a lunar eclipse occurs because there is a process of blocking sunlight. When a lunar eclipse occurs, the moon is in the earth’s shadow.
Or a lunar eclipse occurs when the positions of the moon and sun are in line. This means that the sun’s light is blocked by the earth.
Types of Lunar Eclipses
Reporting from the website of the Directorate of Primary Schools, Ministry of Education and Culture, there are three types of lunar eclipses. First total lunar eclipse. Both partial lunar eclipses. Third penumbral lunar eclipse.
A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth’s entire umbral shadow falls over the moon. A partial lunar eclipse occurs when the position of the earth does not completely block sunlight from falling on the moon.
Meanwhile, a penumbral lunar eclipse occurs when the moon is in the penumbra, causing the moon to be visible but with a dim color.
