An eclipse season is the only time when the Sun (from the perspective of the Earth) is close enough to one of the Moon's nodes to allow an eclipse to occur. During the season, whenever there is a full moon a lunar eclipse may occur and whenever there is a new moon a solar eclipse may occur. If the Sun is close enough to a node, then a "full ...
This causes an eclipse season approximately every six months, in which a solar eclipse can occur at the new moon phase. In astronomy, the new moon is the first lunar phase, when the Moon and Sun have the same ecliptic longitude. [2]
Eclipse cycles have a period in which a certain number of synodic months closely equals an integer or half-integer number of draconic months: one such period after an eclipse, a syzygy (new moon or full moon) takes place again near a node of the Moon's orbit on the ecliptic, and an eclipse can occur again. However, the synodic and draconic ...
The first eclipse of the year is the lunar eclipse in Libra on March 25, 2024, and the second comes shortly after when the 'Great American Solar Eclipse' returns for the first time in seven years ...

The last new moon or full moon ahead of eclipse season takes place this month on March 10, 2024, in the sign of Pisces. New moons are often championed as a chance to start fresh, but with so many ...
This causes an eclipse season approximately every six months, in which a solar eclipse can occur at the new moon phase and a lunar eclipse can occur at the full moon phase. An eclipse cycle takes place when eclipses in a series are separated by a certain interval of time. This happens when the orbital motions of the bodies form repeating ...
The first eclipse of the month is the new moon solar eclipse, aka 'Ring of Fire' eclipse in Libra on October 14, 2023, and the second is the full moon lunar eclipse in Taurus on October 28, 2023.
