Eclipse is an astronomical phenomenon that occurs celestial body moves into the shadow of another celestial body. Eclipse is divided into 2, namely: solar and lunar eclipses.
Solar eclipses occur when the moon is located in a position between the Earth and the Sun so that cover part or all of the sun’s light. Solar Eclipse can be divided into three types: total solar eclipse, partial solar eclipse, solar eclipse and ring. A solar eclipse is said to be a total eclipse when the peak of the eclipse, the Sun disc covered entirely by a disk of the Moon, eclipses occur when the disc partially Month (the peak of the eclipse) only cover part of the solar disc and ring eclipse occurs when the moon disc (the peak of the eclipse) only cover part of the Sun disc. This type of eclipse occurs when the Moon is smaller dish size of the solar disc.

Lunar eclipse occurs when part or in whole cross-section covered by Earth’s shadow. It occurs when the earth is between the sun and the moon on the same straight line, so that sunlight can not reach the moon because it blocked by the Earth. Lunar eclipse may be divided into three types: total lunar eclipse In this eclipse, the moon will be exactly the umbra region, partial lunar eclipse In this eclipse, not the entire moon blocked part of the sun by the earth. While most of the other surface of the moon is in the penumbra region. So there are some rays of sun reaching the surface of the penumbral lunar eclipse bulandan In this eclipse, the entire moon is in the penumbra part. So the moon can still be seen with gloomy colors.
