Eclipse

2 articles · Astronomy & Space · Wikipedia

An eclipse occurs when one celestial body moves directly in front of another, blocking its light from reaching Earth. During a solar eclipse, the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, casting a shadow on our planet, while a lunar eclipse happens when Earth moves between the Sun and Moon, causing Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon. These spectacular events happen because of the precise geometry of our solar system and have fascinated observers throughout human history.
