Eclipse: When Shadows Dance Across the Sky #space #viralvideo #universe #solarsystem #planet

An eclipse is a celestial event where one astronomical body moves into the shadow of another, leading to a temporary darkening of the sky. The term "eclipse" originates from the Greek word ékleipsis, meaning "abandonment" or "a failing to appear," reflecting the momentary obscuration of a celestial body. There are two primary types of eclipses visible from Earth: solar and lunar. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, casting its shadow on Earth and partially or completely blocking the Sun's light. This can only happen during a new moon. Conversely, a lunar eclipse happens when the Earth positions itself between the Sun and the Moon, causing Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon. This can only occur during a full moon. Throughout history, eclipses have been sources of wonder and sometimes fear, inspiring myths and legends across cultures. Today, they offer opportunities for scientific observation and a chance to witness the dynamic interactions within our solar system.
