The longest and closest Lunar Eclipse of the century -also famously known as Red Moon Eclipse-will be on Friday evening, July 27 2018. At the very least part of the eclipse will certainly show up in all significant land areas other than North as well as Central America, with totality visible in the Middle East, India, parts of central Asia.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon goes through the Earth’s shadow on the other side of the Earth from the Sun. The moon transforms deep red or red-brown throughout eclipses, rather than going completely dark. That’s because a few of the sunlight going through Earth’s atmosphere is curved around the edge of our planet and drops into the moon’s surface.

1 pointsWhat is umbra and penumbra ?
Correct
The shadow of the Earth can be divided into two distinctive parts: the umbra and penumbra. Within the umbra, there is no direct solar radiation. However, as a result of the Sun’s large angular size, solar illumination is only partially blocked in the outer portion of the Earth’s shadow, which is given the name penumbra.
