Solar and lunar eclipses are celestial events that have intrigued humans for centuries. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, blocking out the Sun's light. A lunar eclipse, on the other hand, happens when Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Moon to appear reddish as it passes through Earth's shadow.
Eclipses have been used in many cultures as tools for understanding the cosmos and predicting astronomical events. They also provide scientists with valuable opportunities to study the Sun’s corona and the Earth's atmosphere.
