Eclipses

Eclipses

Phill stood in the Moon shadow for all of the eclipses in bronze below which are also in the menu above. Steve’s first eclipse was in 2006. Click on menu items above or the links below for photographs and more details of an eclipse or a saros.

A synodic month is the period between consecutive new moons.

A Saros is a period of exactly 223 synodic months, approximately 6585.321 days (18.04 years), or 18 years plus 10, 11, or 12 days (depending on the number of leap years), and 8 hours. It can be used to predict eclipses of the Sun and Moon. One saros period after an eclipse, the Sun, Earth, and Moon return to approximately the same relative geometry, a near straight line, and a nearly identical eclipse will occur, in what is referred to as an eclipse cycle.
