The authors present a video film of the Total Eclipse of the Moon from 15 June 2011, filmed in Feleac, Cluj-Napoca County, Romania. The eclipse shows evidently irregularities on the Earth's shadow on the Surface of the Moon. One discusses the origin of these irregularities. As is known the mountains on the Moon could be observed by a 20 times magnification. The film shows irregularities of the order of magnitude of 20 km, which could origin from mounts (in Africa, Kenya, which are on the line of seeing in this case), underwater depressions (very less probable in this concrete case), as well as from clouds, which could have about or more than 20 km above the Earth's Surface.
