Description

The fourth and final eclipse for 2008 presented a unique opportunity to capture the umbral cone and shadow which permits for both total and partial lunar eclipses. More specifically, when the moon is totally immersed within the umbral shadow, we have totality. Conversely, when a portion of the lunar disk is immersed within the umbra, we have a partial eclipse.
