Celestial Alignment Solar Eclipse Poster 36 x 24
This poster shows a solar eclipse, along with clouds in the sky.
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the Sun and the Earth so that the Sun is fully or partially blocked. This can only happen during new moon, when the Sun and Moon are in conjunction as seen from the Earth. At least two and up to five solar eclipses can occur each year on Earth. A total solar eclipse is a spectacular natural phenomenon and many people travel to remote locations to observe one. In ancient times, and in some cultures today, solar eclipses have been attributed to supernatural causes. Total solar eclipses can be frightening for people who are unaware of their astronomical explanation, as the Sun seems to disappear in the middle of the day and the sky darkens in a matter of minutes.
