SOLAR ECLIPSE


What happened last 20th of March?

An eclipse is an astronomical event where one celestial body partially or totally covers another celestial object.


This happens when the eclipsing body comes between the observer and the eclipsed object like in the case of a Solar Eclipse, or when the eclipsing body temporarily cuts off the source of illumination of the eclipsed object, like during a Lunar Eclipse.


Eclipses, solar and lunar, have  fascinated scientists and lay people for centuries. In ancient times, eclipses were seen as phenomena to be feared,  many cultures came up with stories and myths to explain the temporary darkening of the Sun or the Moon. In recent centuries, eclipses have been sought after by scientists and astronomers who use the events to study and examine our natural world.

Let’s know more about the eclipse of last 20th of March.
