The lunar phases

- The moon enters the dark half: The earth's shadow consists of two parts: the dark part is completely in the middle and the dark half is outside. This is the time when the official eclipse begins.

- The dark shadow starts to appear: This is the time when the moon goes into the middle of the dark, and the lunar eclipse begins to appear on the moon disk. Increasingly, the darkness becomes wider and clearer.

- The moon enters the shadow zone: The moon begins to pass through the shadow of the earth. At this time, the lunar eclipse looked like a small black oyster that appeared on the left (east) side of the moon.

- Covering 75%: With 3/4 moon discs covered, the moon now looks like a piece of iron heated to the point where it starts glowing. Through binoculars or telescopes, the outer region of the shadow zone is often bright enough to illuminate the sea and the crater on the moon.

- Full lunar eclipse: A few minutes before and after the full lunar eclipse, the contrast between the pale yellow light and the reddish-brown plate reflects on the rest of the moon disc, creating "Effects Japanese lanterns "shimmering colors.

- Total eclipse: When the moon completely enters the shadow, the full moon begins. Nobody knows what the moon looks like now. At some eclipses, the moon is dark gray, almost invisible, or bright orange.

- The end of the entire lunar eclipse: The moon begins to come out of the darkness of the earth. This is the time to watch the "Japanese Lantern Effect" completely.
