Partial eclipse
A lunar eclipse in which the Moon only partly enters the dark, umbral shadow of the Earth but is inside the secondary, penumbral shadow. Also refers to a solar eclipse when the Moon does not line up completely between the Earth and Sun and only partly obscures the Sun. This type of eclipse also produces a penumbra as well as an umbra.
