More on Penumbra
Eclipse - (klps´, -) [Gr.,=failing], in astronomy, partial or total obscuring of one celestial body by the shadow of another.
Umbra & penumbra
The penumbra is that part of the shadow where the light source is only partially blocked. Part of the light passes through the edges of the object causing a partial shadow.

The umbra appears dark because it is quite cool, only about 3,000 K, as compared with the 6,000 K temperature of the surrounding photosphere.
When the Umbra shadow touches Earth, a total eclipse of the sun is seen in that part of the world. The time that the sun is completely blocked out in a total eclipse takes just a few minutes, but is a spectacular sight.

umbra (NASA Thesaurus / NASA SP-7, 1965) 1. The darkest part of a shadow in which light is completely cut off by an intervening object. A lighter part surrounding the umbra, in which the light is only partly cut off, is called the penumbra.

Each spot shows with more or less completeness a ring-shaped penumbra enclosing a darker umbra; the umbra, which looks black beside' the photosphere, is actually about as brilliant as limelight.
For example, in the path of totality (the track of the umbra on the Earth's surface) the eclipse will be total, in a band on either side of the path of totality the shadow cast by the penumbra leads to a partial eclipse, ...
For example, the ratio of the umbral areas (the darker part of the sunspot) to total spot area (including the lighter penumbra) changes abruptly in 1941/1942 and the ratio of the total sunspot area to the sunspot number changes dramatically with the ...
The length of the moon's umbra varies from 367,000 to 379,800 km (228,000 to 236,000 mi), and the distance between the earth and the moon varies from 357,300 to 407,100 km (222,000 to 253,000 mi).
Sunspots actually are rather complex in their structure, usually having two main visible regions; the darker interior is known as the umbra, while the not so dark outer region is known as the penumbra.
The dark centre of a spot is called the umbra; the outer, lighter ring, the penumbra. Spots may be several times larger than the Earth or so small that telescopic observation is difficult. They may last for months.
When the Moon passes through the Earth's umbral shadow we can either see a Partial Eclipse, when only part of the Moon is obscured, or a Total Eclipse.
A - A small single unipolar sunspot or very small group of spots without penumbra. B - Bipolar sunspot group with no penumbra. C - An elongated bipolar sunspot group. One sunspot must have penumbra.
The dark, inner part of the Moon's shadow, called the umbra, will strike the Earth first in the warm Pacific waters southeast of the Hawaiian Islands and trace a smooth curve across the Pacific until Galápagos landfall.
The moon enters the penumbra just after 5.24 am, NZST. It starts moving into the total shadow of the umbra almost an hour later. By then the moon will be getting low in NZ. The eclipse becomes total just after 7.
One shadow is called the umbra which becomes smaller as it reaches the Earth. This is the dark center of the Moon's shadow. The second shadow is called the penumbra. This shadow becomes larger as it reaches the Earth.
The dark center of the sunspot, or umbra, is 20% cooler than the rest of the surface of the Sun.
A total lunar eclipse is when the moon enters the umbra of the earth - or the darkest shadow of the earth, and a partial lunar eclipse is when the moon enters the penumbra, which makes the moon appear a reddish color.
(Eastern Daylight Time), when the Moon makes its initial plunge into the Earth's dark shadow -- "umbra" in astronomical jargon. The Moon, taking one hour and 11 minutes to enter into the umbra completely, becomes totally eclipsed by 11:13 p.m.
When viewed through a telescope, sunspots have a dark central region known as the umbra, surrounded by a somewhat lighter region called the penumbra. Sunspots are dark because they are cooler than the surrounding photosphere.
The darkest area in the center, the "umbra," is where the magnetic field is strongest. Around the edge of the sunspot, the field weakens, so this "penumbra" is a little brighter and shows radial streaks.
A TOTAL eclipse happens when the entire Moon passes through Earth's umbral shadow (see diagram below).
A partial lunar eclipse occurs when only part of the Moon passes through Earth's umbral shadow.
