During a lunar eclipse, the moon can become either partially or entirely dark. The outer, or umbral, shadow is an area when the Earth blocks **some** of the sun's rays.
Note: The correct terminology is that the dark area is called the **umbra**, while the outer shadow is called the **penumbra**. During a total lunar eclipse, the moon passes through the umbra, while during a partial lunar eclipse, it only passes through the penumbra.
