Eclipse types: Total: the Moon covers the Sun completely along a narrow path (solar), or the whole Moon sits in Earth's darkest shadow (lunar). Annular: a solar eclipse when the Moon is too far from Earth to cover the Sun fully, so a bright ring of Sun stays visible. Penumbral: a lunar eclipse when the Moon passes only through the faint outer part of Earth's shadow. The dimming is subtle and easy to miss. Greatest eclipse is the moment the Moon is deepest in Earth's shadow (lunar) or covers the most of the Sun (solar).
