Answer: There is no eclipse. However, two or four times a year, the Moon travels through some portion of the Earth's penumbral or umbral shadows, resulting in one of the three types of eclipses mentioned above. When the Moon crosses between the Earth and the Sun, this occurs. This is only possible when the Moon is in its New Moon phase.
