Merge
[edit]I think we should merge and redirect this article to lunar eclipse. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:51, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
Some photos of the central shadow lines needed to be created
[edit]Some photos needed to be created, on the areas with the central shadow that were lined on a crater or a feature on the Moon, named or unnamed, mid-sized and large ones on the previous solar eclipses (lunar eclipse on Earth) between 1000BC and February 2017. The furthermost part of the central shadow, lining with the penumbral part are to be estimate. Terriffic Dunker Guy (talk) 01:02, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
Putting the list in separate pages
[edit]The list on the article will be put into three different pages, one titled "Partial eclipses on the Moon" which on Earth shows as a penumbral eclipse (some eclipses shows as total), the other "Partial/total eclipses on the Moon" which on Earth shows as a partial eclipse and "Total eclipses on the Moon" which on Earth shows as a total lunar eclipse. The first two shows the Hemisphere or two (Northern or Southern) which had a part or the greatest penumbral or total shadow coverage. On all three, the starting point of the Eclipse describing the selenographical feature including a crater (names ones and some of them one of its satellites or two), an area of the crater where the lunar eclipse started (in the west) and where the lunar eclipse ended (in the east). These pages will have a reference section and one photo each (of an eclipse of the Earth that is seen from the Moon) Terriffic Dunker Guy (talk) 00:50, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
Section improvements
[edit]There are two shadows that are cast during a solar eclipse, the first is umbra which is the dark center portion of the shadow of the Moon and gets smaller as it nears Earth and the second one is penumbra The statement "As the Moon recedes about three centimeters each year" should be "As the Moon recedes about 3.8 centimeters each year [1] The section about Partial eclipses should be expounded on to include all three types of eclipses and the heading changed to types of solar eclipses.

Frequency
[edit]Nothing in this article mentions how frequently solar eclipses happen on the moon. It should. ----73.231.141.22 (talk) 09:29, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
