With such an arrangement, there are bound to be plenty of times when a moon comes between the Sun and its parent planet. In case of the Earth and Moon, the distance, size and angles are such that the Moon just about perfectly covers the Sun leaving the outer zone, the Corona, visible during an eclipse, with a spectacular occurrence of the diamond ring, the Sun’s light escaping between the mountains on the Moon.
Technically, what we call a lunar eclipse, too, is a solar eclipse for the Moon, as the Sun is eclipsed because of the advent of the Earth between the Moon and itself. Even the International Space Station has its own solar eclipse events. This time, in fact, it will have it three times during its three passes. The eclipse for us on the Earth is for a limited time.
Eclipses must be occurring on all planets with their respective moons. They may have different formats and frequencies, but their message is the same: numerous obstacles will eclipse our quest for the truth. However, the truth remains bright and shining behind all the impediments. We only need patience and unwavering faith for the obstacles to move away and illume the one and only reality.
Areas in Mexico, US and Canada will witness a solar eclipse today
