Lors de la plupart des pleines lunes, l'astre qui éclaire nos nuits se déplace un peu au-dessus ou en dessous de l'ombre de notre planète. Parfois, la Lune ne passe qu'en partie dans l'ombre de la Terre et seulement une section de son disque est cachée : c'est une éclipse lunaire partielle. 3, record 1, French, - %C3%A9clipse%20lunaire%20partielle

Souvent, l'alignement entre les trois astres n'est pas parfait et l'ombre de la Lune évite la Terre. Dans ce cas, la phase partielle est la seule à se produire et il n'y a aucune totalité. On parle alors d'une éclipse solaire partielle. 3, record 2, French, - %C3%A9clipse%20solaire%20partielle
