What happened last 20th of March?
An eclipse is an astronomical event where one celestial body partially or
totally covers another celestial object.
This happens when the
eclipsing body comes between the observer and the eclipsed object like in the
case of a Solar Eclipse, or when the eclipsing body temporarily cuts off the source of
illumination of the eclipsed object, like during a Lunar Eclipse.
Eclipses, solar and
lunar, have fascinated scientists and lay people for centuries. In ancient times, eclipses were seen as phenomena to be feared, many
cultures came up with stories and myths to explain the temporary darkening
of the Sun or the Moon. In recent centuries, eclipses have been sought after by scientists and astronomers who use
the events to study and examine our natural world.
Let’s know more about the
eclipse of last 20th of March.
