  2. Eclipse cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipse_cycle

    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 ...

  3. Eclipse season - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipse_season

    An eclipse season is a period, roughly every six months, when eclipses occur. Eclipse seasons are the result of the axial parallelism of the Moon's orbital plane (tilted five degrees to the Earth's orbital plane), just as Earth's weather seasons are the result of the axial parallelism of Earth's tilted axis as it orbits around the Sun.

  4. Solar eclipse of April 20, 2023 - Wikipedia

    This eclipse is a part of the long period inex cycle, repeating at alternating nodes, every 358 synodic months (≈ 10,571.95 days, or 29 years minus 20 days). Their appearance and longitude are irregular due to a lack of synchronization with the anomalistic month (period of perigee).

  8. Eclipse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipse

    A "deep eclipse" (or "deep occultation") is when a small astronomical object is behind a bigger one. [2] [3] The term eclipse is most often used to describe either a solar eclipse, when the Moon's shadow crosses the Earth's surface, or a lunar eclipse, when the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow. However, it can also refer to such events beyond ...

  9. Solar eclipse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse

    The Moon's orbit intersects with the ecliptic at the two nodes that are 180 degrees apart. Therefore, the new moon occurs close to the nodes at two periods of the year approximately six months (173.3 days) apart, known as eclipse seasons, and there will always be at least one solar eclipse during these periods. Sometimes the new moon occurs ...
