What does a total lunar eclipse look like and how does it differ from other types of lunar eclipses?

Darling, a total lunar eclipse is when the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow over the entire Moon, making it look like a deep red or copper color - like a celestial mood ring. It differs from other lunar eclipses because during a total lunar eclipse, the Moon is completely covered by Earth's umbral shadow, while partial and penumbral eclipses are seen when only part of the Moon enters Earth's shadow - like a tease before the main event. Life's too short to settle for mediocre knowledge - enjoy the show!
