To cause the obscuration of; to darken or hide; -- said of a heavenly body; as, the moon eclipses the sun.
To obscure, darken, or extinguish the beauty, luster, honor, etc., of; to sully; to cloud; to throw into the shade by surpassing.
The total or partial blotting out of the light from a body in space by the shadow of another body. When the body of the moon blots out the sun, we also call that an eclipse, though the correct term is "occultation."
Period when the satellite passes into the Earth's (or the Moon's shadow, when power must be drawn from storage batteries.
effect caused by one body casting a shadow on another. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and Earth, casting a shadow on Earth. A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth passes between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow on the moon.
This occurs when the Moon and Earth are aligned so precisely that one passes through the shadow of the other, cast by the Sun. There are two kinds of eclipses: Solar Eclipse and Lunar Eclipse. Each type of eclipse typically happens twice a year. For diagrams and a more detailed explanation, see also: Solar eclipse, Lunar eclipse. There is also more information about eclipses here. !-- google_ad_client = "pub-5341371460269190"; google_ad_width = 468; google_ad_height = 60; google_ad_format = "468x60_as"; google_ad_type = "text"; google_ad_channel ="8569387330"; google_color_border = "EDEDE7"; google_color_bg = "EDEDE7"; google_color_link = "B22222"; google_color_url = "0000FF"; google_color_text = "0000FF";
a shadow cast by one very large object on another
The hiding of one celestial body by another. The hiding of a star by a body of larger angular size is usually called an occultation.
When one body passes through the shadow of another, causing one of the planets to darken or disappear. Indicates great changes for the next 6 to 12 months. Comes in 2 types, solar and lunar. See also Eclipses.
a shadow formed from a moon or planet blocking the light from the sun. A total eclipse is the umbra of a shadow while a partial eclipse would be the penumbra of a shadow.
the obscuration of a celestial body caused by its passage through the shadow cast by another body.
A condition in which the satellite is not in view or in direct line of sight with the sun. This happens when the earth is between them.
Occultation of one celestial body by another which passes between it and the observer.
When one heavenly body obscures another for a short period of time, creating a temporary veil or shadow.
The condition in which the Sun or the Moon is blocked from our view, either partially or fully. Also see "annular eclipse" and "total eclipse". In a "solar eclipse" the Moon passes in front of the Sun, and in a "lunar eclipse" the Earth's shadow passes between the Sun and the Moon, blocking the Moon from Earth's view.
A condition where the Moon is in the shadow of the Earth. Ecliptic plane – Plane of the Earth's orbit Full moon – Phase of the moon where the entire face is illuminated with sunlight New moon – Phase of the moon where the face is illuminated only with earthshine
The blocking of some or all of the light from one object by another. This eclipse image is courtesy of NASA DFRC.
When one "body" (like the moon) passes through the shadow of another.
This is when one celestial body cuts off the light of another - like when the moon covers the Sun for a brief moment.
A total or partial blocking of one heavenly body by another
When light falling on to a planet or other body is obscured by another planet or body. A solar eclipse occurs when the a moon passes between a star and a planet.

a shadow cast by one celestial object on another.
the blocking of one celestial object by another, specifically an object casting its shadow on another object
Eclipses occur when the Sun, Moon, and Earth precisely line up. The Moon, in its orbit around the Earth, is inclined at about 5 degrees to the ecliptic (the plane at which the Earth orbits the Sun). Therefore the Moon spends most of its time above or below the ecliptic plane. The Sun must be at a precise location too. Since the Sun travels an apparent path around the celestial sphere once per year, eclipses are possible only at roughly six-month intervals.
The occurrence of one celestial body's shadow temporarily falling on another body.
An alignment of two bodies with the observer such that either the nearer body prevents the light from the further body from reaching the observer (strictly speaking, these are occultations), e.g. solar eclipse or eclipsing binary stars, or when one body passes through the shadow of another, e.g. lunar eclipse, eclipses of Jovian satellites.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes into the Earth's shadow. A solar eclipse occurs when the Sun, the Moon and the Earth are in line, and the Moon hides the Sun from our view.
The obscuring of one body by the interposition of another vis-à-vis the observer.
An event where one celestial body passes through the shadow of another celestial body. An eclipse of the Sun occurs when the Earth passes through the Moon's shadow. An eclipse of the Moon occurs when the Moon passes through Earth's shadow.
When a celestial body passes in front of another (eg the moon in front of the Sun).
The passage of one object in front of another—such as occurs when the Moon passes in front of the Sun during a solar eclipse—or the passage of one object through the shadow of another—such as occurs when the Moon passes through the shadow of Earth during a lunar eclipse.
When one astronomical body passes in front of another. A solar eclipse, for example, occurs when the Moon passes in front of the Sun causing a shadow to fall onto the Earth. There are several types - Total, Annular, Hybrid and Partial.
Event during which one body passes in front of another, so that the light from the occulted body is blocked.
The obscuring of one celestial body by the passage of another in front of it.
Either of the sun or the moon is an omen of dread and foreboding of impending harm to yourself or a member of your family.
A chance alignment between the Sun, or any other celestial object, and two other celestial objects in which one body blocks the light of the Sun, or other body, from the other. In effect, the outer object moves through the shadow of the inner object.
When an object blocks the light rays going from the sun to another object, an eclipse is said to occur.
an event in which one body passes in front of another, blocking it partially or completely from view, a specific type of occultation.
The total or partial blocking of one celestial body by another.
The partial or total apparent darkening of the sun when the moon comes between the sun and the Earth (solar eclipse), or the darkening of the moon when the full moon is in the Earth's shadow (lunar eclipse).
movement of one heavenly body across another, obscuring the view of the other heavenly body.
The obstruction of one celestial body by another. An eclipse of the moon or 'lunar eclipse' occurs when the full moon passes through the shadow of the earth. A solar eclipse occurs when the new moon passes between the earth and the sun, and when the shadow of the moon reaches the earth. From the Greek ekleipsis a derivative of ekleipen 'no longer appear or be present,' the word eclipse comes to us via Old French, Latin and passed into English as ecliptic.
Occurs when the satellite's solar arrays are in the Earth's shadow.
the shadow made when one object comes between another object and the Sun.
The obscuring of one celestial body by another. See lunar eclipse or solar eclipse.
The cutting off of all or part of the light of one body by another; in planetary science, the passing of one body into the shadow of another.
An eclipse is the partial or total obscuring of one of the luminaries by the shadow of the other. At the same time, either or both luminaries are within orb of an aspect to the Lunar Nodes. The Eclipse is considered a Solar Eclipse when the Sun and Moon are conjunct otherwise known as a New Moon. It is considered a Lunar Eclipse when the Sun and Moon are in opposition or a Full Moon.
The obscuring of one astronomical body by another as seen from the Earth. The most common eclipses are solar eclipes and lunar eclipses.
an event in which one body passes in front of another, blocking it partially or completely from view. solar: an eclipse of the sun caused by the moon passing between Earth and the sun. lunar: an eclipse of the moon caused by the Earth passing between the sun and moon. annular: a solar eclipse in which the moon does not fully cover the sun's disk, allowing observers to see a thin ring of sunlight.
When a satellite passes through the line between the earth and the sun or the earth and another satellite.
An eclipse occurs when one planet stops sunlight from reaching another.
An eclipse happens when the moon blocks the Sun or the Earth's shadow falls on the moon. Some Eclipsing Binaries Magnitude Range Period(days) Delta Librae 4.9-5.9 2.3 Algol(Beta Persei) 2.1-3.4 2.9
A solar eclipse is the full or partial covering of the Sun by the Moon (as viewed from Earth), and a lunar eclipse is the full or partial covering of the Moon by the Earth's own shadow.
An eclipse occurs when a celestial body obstructs another. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon blocks the sun light from the earth. Conversely, a lunar eclipse occurs when the earth blocks the sun light from the moon. In the satellite industry, the term "eclipse" refers to the times of the year when the earth blocks the sun light from a satellite. During this time, the satellite relies on its batteries for power, as opposed to solar panels. This phenomenon happens twice a year. Also, please see the definition " Sun Outage" below.
Solar Eclipse *** Lunar Eclipse *** Penumbral Eclipse
An occultation, commonly used in reference to a darkening of the Sun or Moon. Solar eclipses occur at the times of those new Moons when the Moon, Sun and Earth are aligned so that the Moon blocks the Sun (totally or partially) from Earth's view. Lunar eclipses occur at certain full Moons during which the Sun, Earth and Moon are so aligned that Earth blocks the Sun's light from the Moon, and the Moon is invisible to earthlings.
total or partial darkening of a celestial body, due to the interposition of an other object between the former and the observer. The eclipse of the Sun is caused by the interposition of the Moon between the Sun and the Earth, whereas the eclipse of the Moon is caused by the interposition of the Earth between the Moon and the Sun; the Earth projects its shadow on the lunar disc.
Satellite's solar panels are blocked by the earth (22 days before and after spring and autumn equinox, maximum of 70 minutes) or the moon (irregular).
When 0ne celestial body obscures another.
The alignment of celestial bodies so that one is obscured, either partially or totally, by the other.
Total or partial masking of a celestial body by another along the line of sight. Solar eclipses result from the Moon blocking the Sun relative to the Earth; thus Earth, Moon and Sun all lie on a line. Lunar eclipses work the same way in a different order: Moon, Earth and Sun all on a line. In this case the Earth's shadow hides the Moon from view.
The hiding or blocking of one celestial object from another.
The cutting off of light from one celestial body by another.
Time interval during which the Sun is occulted by the Earth during a particular orbit of the spacecraft, typically 1800-2000 sec in length. All GALEX observations occur while GALEX is in eclipse. One target is observed per eclipse. The data acquired during an eclipse is sometimes referred to as an eclipse.
To dream of the eclipse of the sun, denotes temporary failure in business and other secular affairs, also disturbances in families. The eclipse of the moon, portends contagious disease or death.
Solar and Lunar eclipses are important keys to political and social events. They are also significant in natal and progressed horoscopes. An eclipse happens when the Sun, Earth and Moon align so that, in a solar eclipse, the body of the Moon obscures the body of the Sun and in a lunar eclipse, the body of the Earth obscures the Moon. In each case the Sun's light is obstructed, causing the eclipse.
The obscuring of one celestial body by another. Related terms: lunar eclipse and solar eclipse
An eclipse (Greek verb: http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0057%3Aentry%3D%2332334 ekleipô, "to vanish", though it derives from the prefix 'ex-', "away from", and Greek 'leipein', "to leave") is an astronomical event that occurs when one celestial object moves into the shadow of another. The term is most often used to describe either a solar eclipse, when the Moon's shadow crosses Earth's surface, or a lunar eclipse, when the Moon moves into the shadow of Earth. However, it can also refer to such events beyond the Earth-Moon system: for example, a planet moving into the shadow cast by one of its moons, a moon passing into the shadow cast by its parent planet, or a moon passing into the shadow of another moon.
"Eclipse" is the tenthThe track number depends upon the edition of the album; some releases merge the two tracks "Speak to Me" and "Breathe," for instance. and final track from British progressive rock band Pink Floyd's 1973 album, The Dark Side of the Moon. It was sung by Roger Waters, with harmonies by David Gilmour. After Waters left, Gilmour sang lead when performed live by the band.
Eclipse is the third book in the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. It continues the story of 18-year-old Bella Swan and her vampire lover, Edward Cullen. Eclipse is the sequel to New Moon.
