What is a semi-shadow eclipse?

 

A semi-shadow eclipse , called a pseudo-eclipse, and a semi-shadow eclipse occurs when the moon crosses the region of the earth’s shadow without entering the full shadow of the Earth and thus the moon is seen to the monitors with its kinda bright and unnoticed lighting.

 

And since the eclipse will be "semi-shadow", it will not be observed in all regions, and it will be in the form of weak blackout in the moon unnoticed.
