- Abstract
The article presents information about the lunar eclipse in the U.S. in April 2005. Two variations of eclipse occurred, an eclipse of the Sun at new Moon and an eclipse of the Moon at full Moon. An eclipse can only occur at new or full Moon and only when the Sun, Moon, and Earth are at certain orbital positions during the eclipse season. An eclipse season is within a period of 30 to 40 days occurring every 173 days, or approximately twice during a calendar year. There are several factors that may be considered as a contributing factor why eclipse happened. Among these stands the most basic, eclipse occur as a result of the position of the Earth, Moon, and Sun. INSETS: What is an annular eclipse? - p. 54;Tracking the Sun - p. 55.
