eclipse shadows Image title Explanation of shadows visible during a solar eclipse by CMG Lee. 1 and 4: No eclipse, 2 and 5: Partial eclipse, 3 and 6: Annular eclipse.
An annular solar eclipse occurred at the Moon’s descending node of orbit on Wednesday, October 2, 2024, [1] with a magnitude of 0.9326. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth.
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 ...
Only two (or occasionally three) eclipse seasons occur each year, and each season lasts about 35 days and repeats just short of six months (173 days) later; thus two full eclipse seasons always occur each year. Either two or three eclipses happen each eclipse season. In the sequence below, each eclipse is separated by a fortnight.
This eclipse is a member of a semester series. An eclipse in a semester series of solar eclipses repeats approximately every 177 days and 4 hours (a semester) at alternating nodes of the Moon's orbit. [3] The partial solar eclipses on July 1, 2000 and December 25, 2000 occur in the next lunar year eclipse set.
A total solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Tuesday, June 30, 1992, [1] with a magnitude of 1.0592. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth.
An annular solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Friday, September 22, 2006, [1] [2] [3] with a magnitude of 0.9352. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth.
This eclipse is a part of Saros series 145, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, and containing 77 events. The series started with a partial solar eclipse on January 4, 1639. It contains an annular eclipse on June 6, 1891; a hybrid eclipse on June 17, 1909; and total eclipses from June 29, 1927 through September 9, 2648. The series ends at member ...
