MAX ECLIPSE | UMBRAL OVERLAY

1. Orbital Shadow Geometry 2.5D RAY TRACE

2. Earth Observer View FOV: 1.5°

Eclipse Mode Total Solar

Orbit Progress 0.00 (Max)

Lunar Distance 363,300 km

● Shadow Cones

Umbra: Complete occultation of light source. Penumbra: Partial blockage. Antumbra: Occulting body appears entirely within light disk (annulus).

⬡ 5.14° Inclination

The Moon's orbit is tilted 5.14° to the ecliptic plane. Eclipses only occur when syzygy coincides with ascending or descending orbital nodes.

● Rayleigh Scattering

During a total lunar eclipse, Earth's atmosphere refracts sunlight, scattering blue wavelengths while bending red wavelengths into the umbra (Blood Moon).
