Eclipses
- A solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes directly between the Sun and the
Earth - on the same line - casting a shadow of the Moon on the surface of the Earth.
This would happen during the new moon phase of the lunar cycle.
- If the Moon completely obscures the Sun (when viewed
from Earth), it is called a total eclipse. If the Moon partially
obscures the Sun, it is a partial eclipse.
- Viewing eclipses with the naked eye can cause permenant damage.
- A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes directly between the Sun and the Moon,
casting a shadow of the Earth on the surface of the Moon. This would happen during a
full moon.
