Geometry of a total solar eclipse (not to scale) The diagrams to the right show the alignment of the Sun, Moon, and Earth during a solar eclipse. The dark gray region between the Moon and Earth is the umbra, where the Sun is completely obscured by the Moon. The small area where the umbra touches Earth's surface is where a total eclipse can be seen.

A symbolic orbital diagram from the view of the Earth at the center, showing the Moon's two nodes where eclipses can occur. Up to three eclipses may occur during an eclipse season, a one- or two-month period that happens twice a year, around the time when the Sun is near the nodes of the Moon's orbit. An eclipse does not occur every month ...
The Baily's beads, diamond ring or more rarely double diamond ring effects, [1] are features of total and annular solar eclipses. Although caused by the same phenomenon, they are distinct events during these types of solar eclipses. As the Moon covers the Sun during a solar eclipse, the rugged topography of the lunar limb allows beads of ...
From 1900 to 2100, the state of Tennessee will have recorded a total of 83 solar eclipses, one of which is an annular eclipse and two of which are total eclipses. The one annular solar eclipse occurred on September 1, 1951. Both of the total solar eclipses occurred on August 21, 2017 and April 8, 2024.
136 (37 of 71) Catalog # (SE5000) 9528. A total solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Wednesday, July 22, 2009, [1][2][3][4] with a magnitude of 1.07991. 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 total solar eclipse occurred at the Moon’s descending node of orbit on Monday, December 14, 2020, [1][2][3][4][5][6] with a magnitude of 1.0254. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's and the apparent path of the Sun and Moon intersect, blocking all direct sunlight and turning daylight into ...
