SOLAR AND LUNAR

ECLIPSES

BY- ANIKA GOEL V-B

 HISTORY OF ECLIPSES
The Earth,along with the other planets,revolves around the Sun in its orbit.In turn,the moon
revolves around the earth in the moon’s orbit. There comes a time when the three
heavenly bodies get aligned in the same straight line. This is when an eclipse occurs. It is
defined as an astronomical phenomenon that occurs when one spatial object comes
within the shadow of another spatial object. This obstructs the observer from seeing one
of them in space. On earth, we witness two types of eclipses: solar and lunar eclipse.
WHAT ARE THE TWO ECLIPSES?
SOLAR ECLIPSE
A solar eclipse occurs when the
moon comes in between the
Sun and Earth such that the
shadow of the Moon is cast
on Earth.
LUNAR
ECLIPSE
A lunar eclipse occurs when the
Earth comes in between the
Sun and Moon such that the
shadow of the Earth is cast
on the Moon.

 PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN WHILE
VIEWING A SOLAR ECLIPSE
● Always inspect your solar filter before use; if scratched, punctured, torn, or otherwise damaged,
discard it. Read and follow any instructions printed on or packaged with the filter.
● Always supervise children using solar filters.
● If you normally wear eyeglasses, keep them on. Put your eclipse glasses on over them, or hold
your handheld viewer in front of them.
● Stand still and cover your eyes with your eclipse glasses or solar viewer before looking up at the
bright Sun. After looking at the Sun, turn away and remove your filter — do not remove it while
looking at the Sun.
● Do not look at the uneclipsed or partially eclipsed Sun through an unfiltered camera, telescope,
binoculars, or other optical device.
● Similarly, do not look at the Sun through an unfiltered camera, telescope, binoculars, or any other
optical device while using your eclipse glasses or handheld solar viewer in front of your eyes —
the concentrated solar rays could damage the filter and enter your eyes, causing serious in.
