The significance of the time labels is (arguably) ambiguous: they are labelling when the moon<br>is as shown as opposed to when the moon enters the region indicated.<br><br>01:51 PDT is when the moon is entirely in the penumbra (as opposed to when it begins to enter it)<br>02:51 PDT is when the moon is entirely in the umbra (i.e., when totality begins)
