A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and Sun and the Moon thereby obscures Earth's view of the Sun totally or partially. This configuration can only occur at New Moon, when the Sun and Moon are in conjunction, as seen from the Earth.
lol also
During a central eclipse, the Moon's umbra (or antumbra, in the case of an annular eclipse) moves rapidly from west to east across the Earth. The Earth is also rotating from west to east, but the umbra always moves faster than any given point on the Earth's surface, so it almost always appears to move in a roughly west-east direction across a map of the Earth (there are some rare exceptions to this which can occur during an eclipse of the midnight sun in Arctic or Antarctic regions).
only thing missing ish breaking dawn and twilight biggrin
**edit** also dont forget not to look at the sun during the eclipse!
very dangerous
Sunglasses are not acceptable and your eyes can be permanently damaged by looking even for a fraction of a second at any eclipse. Telescopes and binoculars must be outfitted with special filters before they can be safely used.
