The eclipse of the sun is a time of intensification of cosmic energies! How can you learn to use them to fulfill your innermost desires?

What is the significance of an eclipse of the sun for the fate of a person?

People have always known that brief moments of a solar eclipse¹ are of great importance for the life of all living beings on the planet.

Usually, many project fears in it: this is due to the fact that light is habitually associated with good, and darkness with evil.

In fact, the time of a solar eclipse is of great importance from the point of view of esotericism, it enhances the energies of space and planets, their influence on the inhabitants of the Earth. These influences are universal: they can be used for evil, or they can be used for good; they can bring positive change or they can attract disasters. It all depends on the point of view and expectations of the person.

This is the mysterious period of the disappearance of the luminary from the firmament -: you can get rid of negative programs and make positive changes in your life!

How to properly meet an eclipse of the sun?

As stated above, solar eclipse- this is a great time to change your destiny.

It provides an excellent opportunity for self-improvement: you can get rid of negative habits and negative character traits. An eclipse usually lasts a few minutes, so you need to carefully prepare for it.

You need to start preparing for this special moment in 3 days.

• This is the time of active energy! What a person will say, consciously or unconsciously, will come true. At this time, the practitioner monitors the spoken words and those thoughts that will come these days.
• It is recommended that you prepare affirmations for this time in advance in the area in which changes are needed.
• If there are debts, then the period of a solar eclipse is better time to get rid of them: give them on this very day. To repay the debt at this time means to get rid of what interferes with material well-being.
• On these days, you need to fast and give up meat food, nuts and seeds.
• It is recommended to talk to yourself, to understand what the person wants to get rid of.

On the day of a solar eclipse, the following steps must be followed.

1. Half an hour before the eclipse, the practitioner lights a candle, walks with her around the perimeter of the apartment, reading a prayer. It may be "Our Father", or it may be the one that your heart desires.

The apartment is bypassed clockwise.

2. Then the person stands in the middle of the central room, where a candle is burning. Looking at her, he says everything that he wants to get rid of; everything that he wrote down in advance on paper. After reading this list, the practitioner burns it in a fire.

3. 15 minutes before the eclipse, he takes a contrast shower. After the shower, it is located directly on the floor, facing north.

4. Closing his eyes, a person relaxes the muscles of the body and face, enters a meditative state. He presents his negative programs- complexes, habits, fears - in the form of mental images (symbols).

5. The practitioner listens to himself: heaviness in the abdomen means fear, in the throat - resentment.

6. When you manage to feel the clamps in your body, the person sends them love and gratitude until they begin to change - they become light, clean.

At this moment, different thoughts, ideas, emotions may come to you: you need to allow this to happen!

7. When the practitioner is finished, he opens his eyes and thanks the Universe for this experience.

The first lunar day after a solar eclipse is the time for making wishes.

It's simple: a person sits down in front of a lighted candle and utters his deepest desires into the fire. You need to choose those that can come true during the year.

It's not hard to meet an eclipse of the sun, these simple steps will allow you to radically change your life, make it successful and happy!

Notes and feature articles for a deeper understanding of the material

¹ A solar eclipse is an astronomical phenomenon, which consists in the fact that the Moon obscures (eclipses) the Sun in whole or in part from an observer on Earth (Wikipedia).

The period from 2018 to 2033 is chosen because it is quite interesting in relation to solar eclipses visible from the territory of Russia and the CIS countries. During these years, 14 solar eclipses will be observed from the territory of our country, which include two total eclipses, two annular eclipses and 10 partial eclipses. Especially interesting will be the annular solar eclipse on June 1, 2030, the strip of the annular phase of which will pass through the whole country from west to east from Crimea to Primorye!

It is worth noting that, for example, in the period from 2034 to 2060 (twice as long), only two total and three annular solar eclipses will be observed in our country! The difference is obvious, so we can say that Russians and residents of the CIS are lucky with solar eclipses in the next fifteen years.

How do solar eclipses come about? Solar eclipses are caused by our celestial neighbor Moon. The apparent diameters of the Sun and the Moon, observed from the Earth, are approximately the same. This means that the Moon, moving in its orbit, at some point can completely (total eclipse) or partially (partial eclipse) cover the Sun with itself (during the new moon phase).

A total solar eclipse is the most spectacular and spectacular astronomical phenomenon! If night falls in the middle of the day and the stars are visible in the sky, this is quite impressive! Unfortunately, the visibility of such a phenomenon extends only to a small area where the lunar shadow falls. But during the movement of the lunar shadow, it forms a narrow strip on the surface of the Earth (with an average width of about 200 kilometers). The length of such a strip is several thousand kilometers, but this is still not enough for a total eclipse of the Sun to be seen by all inhabitants of the Earth's hemisphere facing the daylight. Total solar eclipses can occur every six months, but due to the peculiarities of the Moon's movement in its orbit, they occur most often only once a year.

More information about the possibility of solar eclipses can be found, for example, from the book "Total solar eclipse on March 29, 2006 and its observation" (link at the end of the article).

Observing total solar eclipses from the same settlement is possible on average only once every 300 years. This makes it necessary to travel into the visibility band of the eclipse. A total solar eclipse is accompanied by a partial solar eclipse, which is visible on both sides of the total eclipse strip, where the lunar penumbra falls. The further from the central line of the eclipse, the less the disk of the Sun will be covered by the Moon. But the width of the strip of a partial eclipse of the Sun is much larger than that of the strip of a total eclipse, therefore, it is possible to observe partial eclipses from the same observation point much more often. Due to the large territory of our country, we can observe solar eclipses more often than residents of countries with a small territory.

There are only partial eclipses, when the shadow of the Moon passes above or below the polar regions of the Earth, and only the lunar penumbra falls on our planet, showing the appearance of the flawed Sun. An annular eclipse differs in that the Moon completely sets on the Sun's disk, but cannot completely close it due to its smaller apparent diameter (when the Moon is near the apogee, i.e. the point of its orbit farthest from the Earth). As a result, a solar ring around the moon's dark disk is visible from Earth.

It should be noted that a total eclipse in the European part of Russia can be observed only in 2061. If you look at the map of total and annular eclipse bands for 20 years, you can see how rare total solar eclipses are even for such a large country like ours.

The next total solar eclipses in 2019 and 2020 can be observed in Chile and Argentina. Therefore, those who want to see this wonderful phenomenon, as soon as possible, need to prepare for a transatlantic flight!

But let's return to the eclipses of the period described here 2018 - 2033, and consider them in more detail.

For convenience, which can be downloaded and printed.

Solar eclipses in Russia and the CIS in 2018 - 2033

(universal time)

The 2018 solar eclipse will be private. It will occur at the new moon on August 11, and the eclipse band will cover the northeastern part of our country with a maximum phase of 0.736 in Chukotka. Private phases will also be seen by residents of North America, Scandinavia and China. The duration of the eclipse will be a little less than 3.5 hours. The eclipse will occur in the constellation Leo.

Another solar eclipse in 2019 will be annular. It will occur at the new moon on December 26, and a strip of the annular phase will pass through the waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, crossing Arabia, southern India and Indonesia from west to east. The maximum duration of the annular phase will reach 3 minutes 40 seconds with a phase of 0.97. Private phases will be seen by residents of the southern regions of our country, Africa, Asia and Australia. The eclipse will occur in the constellation Sagittarius.

The 2020 solar eclipse will be annular. It will occur at the new moon on June 21, and a strip of the annular phase will pass through Africa, the Arabian Peninsula and the Asian continent. The duration of the annular phase at the maximum of the phenomenon will reach only 38 seconds at a phase of 0.994. In this case, the thinnest ring of this eclipse will be observed. On the territory of Russia and the CIS, the eclipse strip will cover the entire southern half of the country. The maximum phase of about 0.7 can be observed in the Central Asian countries of the CIS. The eclipse will occur in the constellation Taurus.

The solar eclipse of 2022 will be private. It will occur at the new moon on October 25, and the eclipse strip will cover the western half of Russia. The maximum eclipse phase 0.861 will be available for observations from the territory of our country in Siberia. The eclipse will occur in the constellation Virgo.

The solar eclipse in 2026 will be total. It will occur at the new moon on August 12, and the strip of full eclipses will pass across the Atlantic and Arctic oceans, Western Europe and Russia. A total eclipse will be observed on Taimyr (total phase duration is 2 minutes), and a partial eclipse will cover the Far North of the country. The eclipse will occur in the constellation Leo.

The solar eclipse of 2029 will be private. It will occur at the new moon on June 12, and the eclipse strip will pass through the water area of ​​the Arctic Ocean, as well as across North America and the Far North of our country. The maximum eclipse phase of 0.458 will be available for observations from North America. In Russia, the smallest phases of the eclipse will be visible (about 0.2 or less). The eclipse will occur in the constellation Taurus.

The solar eclipse of 2031 will be annular. It will occur at the new moon on May 21, and an annular eclipse strip with a maximum phase of 0.959 will pass through the Indian Ocean, as well as across Africa, India and Indonesia. On the territory of our country, the eclipse will be observed in its southern part with small phases (Central Asian countries of the CIS). The eclipse will occur in the constellation Taurus.

To understand why solar eclipses occur, people have watched them for centuries and kept count, recording all the circumstances surrounding them. At first, astronomers noticed that a solar eclipse occurs only with a new moon, and even then not with every one. After that, having paid attention to the position of the satellite of our planet before and after the amazing phenomenon, its connection with this phenomenon became obvious, since it turned out that it was the Moon that was covering the Sun from the Earth.

After that, astronomers drew attention to the fact that two weeks after a solar eclipse there is always a lunar eclipse, especially interesting was the fact that the moon was always full. This once again confirmed the connection between the Earth and the satellite.

A solar eclipse can be seen when a young moon completely or partially obscures the sun. This phenomenon occurs only on the new moon, at a time when the satellite is turned to our planet with its unlit side, and therefore is absolutely not visible in the night sky.

A solar eclipse can only be seen if the Sun and new Moon are within twelve degrees on either side of one of the lunar nodes (two points at which the solar and lunar orbits intersect), and the Earth, its satellite and the star line up in one line, with the Moon in the middle.

The duration of eclipses from the initial to the final stage is no more than six hours. At this time, the shadow moves in a strip along the earth's surface from west to east, describing an arc with a length of 10 to 12 thousand km. As for the speed of movement of the shadow, it largely depends on the latitude: in the equator area - 2 thousand km / h, near the poles - 8 thousand km / h.

A solar eclipse has a very limited area because because of their small size the satellite is not able to hide the Luminary on such great distance: its diameter is four hundred times less than that of the sun. Since it is four hundred times closer to our planet than a star, it still manages to close it from us. Sometimes completely, sometimes partially, and when the satellite is at the greatest distance from the Earth, it is annular.

Since the Moon is smaller than not only the star, but also the Earth, and the distance to our planet at the closest point is not less than 363 thousand km, the diameter of the satellite's shadow does not exceed 270 km, therefore, an eclipse of the Sun can be observed on the path of the shadow's movement only within this distance ... If the Moon is at a great distance from the Earth (and this distance is almost 407 thousand km), the strip will be much smaller.

Scientists put forward the assumption that in six hundred million years the satellite will be so far away from the Earth that its shadow will not touch the planet's surface at all, and therefore eclipses will be impossible. Currently, solar eclipses can be seen at least twice a year, and this is considered a fairly rare occurrence.

Since the satellite moves around the Earth in an elliptical orbit, the distance between it and our planet during an eclipse is different each time, and therefore the size of the shadow fluctuates within extremely wide boundaries. Therefore, the completeness of a solar eclipse is measured in values ​​from 0 to Ф:

• 1 - total eclipse. If the diameter of the moon turns out to be greater than the diameter of the star, the phase may exceed unity;
• From 0 to 1 - quotient (partial);
• 0 - almost invisible. The shadow of the moon either does not reach the earth's surface at all, or only touches the edge.

How a wondrous phenomenon is formed

It will be possible to see a total eclipse of a star only when a person is in a strip along which the moon's shadow will move. It often happens that just at this time the firmament is drawn in by clouds and does not disperse before the lunar shadow leaves the territory.

If the firmament is clear, with the help special means to protect the eyes, one can observe how Selena begins to gradually obscure the Sun from its right side. After the satellite is between our planet and the star, it completely covers the Luminary, twilight sets in, and the constellations begin to appear in the firmament. At the same time, around the disk of the Sun hidden by the satellite, one can see the outer layer of the solar atmosphere in the form of a corona, which is invisible at normal times.

The total solar eclipse does not last long, about two or three minutes, after which the satellite, going to the left, opens the right side of the Luminary - the eclipse ends, the corona goes out, begins to brighten quickly, the stars disappear. Interestingly, the longest solar eclipse lasted about seven minutes (the next phenomenon, lasting seven and a half minutes, will only be in 2186), and the shortest was recorded in the North Atlantic Ocean and lasted one second.

Also, the eclipse can be observed, staying in partial shade not far from the strip of passage of the Moon's shadow (the diameter of the penumbra is approximately 7 thousand km). At this time, the satellite passes by the solar disk not in the center, but on the edge, covering only part of the star. Accordingly, the sky does not darken as much as during a total eclipse, and the stars do not appear. The closer to the shadow, the more the Sun is closed: while on the border between shadow and penumbra, the solar disk closes completely, with outside the satellite only partially touches the star, so the phenomenon is not observed at all.

There is another classification, according to which a solar eclipse is considered complete when the shadow at least partially touched the earth's surface. If the lunar shadow passes near it, but does not touch it in any way, the phenomenon is classified as private.

In addition to partial and total, there are annular eclipses. They are very similar to full ones, since the Earth's satellite also covers the star, but its edges are open and form a thin, dazzling ring (while the solar eclipse is much shorter in duration than the annular one).

This phenomenon can be observed because the satellite, bypassing the star, is as far away from our planet as possible and, although its shadow does not touch the surface, it visually passes through the middle of the solar disk. Since the diameter of the moon is much smaller than the diameter of a star, it is not able to completely cover it.

When eclipses can be seen

Scientists have calculated that over a hundred years there have been about 237 eclipses of the Sun, of which one hundred and sixty partial, sixty-three complete, fourteen ring-shaped.

But a total solar eclipse in the same place is extremely rare, while they do not differ in frequency. For example, in the capital of Russia, Moscow, from the eleventh to the eighteenth centuries, astronomers recorded 159 eclipses, of which only three total (in 1124, 1140, 1415). After that, here scientists recorded total eclipses in 1887 and 1945 and determined that the next total eclipse in the capital of Russia will be in 2126.

At the same time, in another region of Russia, in the south-west of Siberia, near the city of Biysk, a total eclipse could be seen three times over the past thirty years - in 1981, 2006 and 2008.

One of the largest eclipses, with a maximum phase of 1.0445 and a shadow width of 463 km, occurred in March 2015. The penumbra of the Moon covered almost all of Europe, Russia, the Middle East, Africa and Central Asia. A total solar eclipse could be observed in the northern latitudes of the Atlantic Ocean and in the Arctic (as for Russia, the highest phase at 0.87 was in Murmansk). The next phenomenon of this kind can be observed in Russia and other parts of the northern hemisphere on March 30, 2033.

Is it dangerous?

Insofar as solar phenomena are rather unusual and interesting spectacles, it is not surprising that almost everyone wants to observe all the phases of this phenomenon. Many people understand that it is categorically impossible to look at a star without protecting your eyes: as astronomers say, you can look at this phenomenon with the naked eye only twice - first with the right eye, then with the left.

And all because only at one glance at the most bright star the firmament may well be left without vision, damaging the retina of the eye to the point of blindness, causing a burn, which, by damaging the cones and rods, forms a small blind spot. A burn is dangerous because at the beginning a person does not feel it at all and its destructive effect manifests itself only after a few hours.

Deciding to watch the Sun in Russia or anywhere else the globe, it must be borne in mind that you cannot look at it not only with the naked eye, but also through sunglasses, CD-disks, color film, X-ray film, especially captured, tinted glass, binoculars and even a telescope, if it does not provide special protection.

But you can look at this phenomenon for about thirty seconds using:

• Spectacles designed for observing this phenomenon and providing protection from ultraviolet rays:
• Undeveloped black and white photographic film;
• Photo filter, which is used to observe a solar eclipse;
• Welding goggles, protection in which is not lower than "14".

If the necessary funds I couldn't get it, but I really want to look at the amazing phenomenon of nature, you can create a safe projector: take two sheets of cardboard white and a pin, then punch a hole in one of the sheets with a needle (at the same time, do not expand it, otherwise you can see only a ray, but not a darkened Sun in any way).

After that, the second cardboard must be placed opposite the first in the direction opposite to the Sun, and the observer himself must turn his back to the star. The sunbeam will pass through the hole and create a projection of the solar eclipse onto another cardboard.

On March 20 this year, there will be a total solar eclipse that will block up to 90 percent of the solar. The eclipse will be the largest event in 16 years. On this day, the Moon passes directly in front of the Sun, casting a shadow on the Earth. A solar eclipse could cause temporary blackouts across Europe. The eclipse will occur on the afternoon of March 20 on Friday and will begin at 7:41 UTC (UTC) and end at 11:50 UTC.

The beginning of the solar eclipse: 12:13 Moscow time

Maximum phase of a solar eclipse: 13:20 Moscow time

End of the solar eclipse: 14:27 Moscow time

Maximum solar disk darkening: 58 percent

A total eclipse will be observed in eastern Greenland, Iceland, the Svalbard archipelago and the Faroe Islands. A partial solar eclipse will be observed in Russia, Europe, northern and eastern Africa and northern and eastern Asia.

The last total solar eclipse of this magnitude occurred on August 11, 1999, and the next will take place in 2026. In addition, an eclipse can disrupt solar sources and cause a power outage.

Remember not to look directly at the Sun's disk during time, as this can lead to irreversible damage to the eyes. For observation, you need to use special solar filters.

The eclipse falls on the day of the equinox and the new moon, and the Moon reaches the lunar perigee, the closest point to Earth in its orbit. The vernal equinox occurs on March 20, 2015 at 22:45 UTC (March 21, 1:45 Moscow time). It represents the moment when the Sun crosses the celestial equator. On the day of the equinox, the duration of the night and the day is the same and is 12 hours.

The March new moon will be a supermoon that, while not visible, will have more than the usual impact on Earth's oceans. An eclipse occurs when a celestial body such as the Moon or a planet passes into the shadow of another body. On Earth, two types of eclipses can be observed: solar and lunar.

During a solar eclipse, the Moon's orbit passes between the Sun and the Earth. When this happens, the Moon blocks the light from the Sun and casts a shadow on the Earth.

There are several types of solar eclipses:

Full - it is visible in certain areas of the Earth, which are in the center of the lunar shadow falling on the Earth. The sun, moon and earth are in a straight line.

Partial - This eclipse occurs when the Sun, Moon and Earth are not exactly on the same line, and the observers are in partial shade.

Annular - occurs when the Moon is at the farthest point from the Earth. As a result, it does not completely block the solar disk, but looks like a dark disk with a bright ring around it.

Solar eclipse:
Total solar eclipse, partial solar eclipse, annular eclipse

V recent times astronomy has ceased to be a compulsory subject at school, hopes are pinned on this publication for the possibility of filling the forced gaps in education with the help of the Internet ...

First of all, let us turn to the Great Soviet Encyclopedia in order to take advantage of the time-tested and, undoubtedly, outstanding scientists, the definition of the subject of our conversation: "An eclipse is an astronomical phenomenon in which the sun, moon, planet, satellite of a planet, or a star cease to be visible to the terrestrial observer in whole or in part.
Eclipses occur due to the fact that either one celestial body covers another, or the shadow of one non-self-luminous body falls on another of the same body. An eclipse of the Sun is observed when it is covered (obscured) by the Moon. "Solar eclipses always happen on New Moon.

A solar eclipse is a unique phenomenon every time.
What kind of eclipses are there?

We are so accustomed to our moon that we do not even know how lucky we are with it! And we were lucky with her twice. First, our Moon is not some shapeless cobblestone like Phobos or Deimos, but a neat little round mini-planet! Second: the Moon is now far enough from the Earth and there are no daily earthquakes and huge waves, once in the past caused by the tidal forces of the Moon (in our time, the Moon is moving away from the Earth at a speed of 4 cm per year - in the early eras this was faster). The moon is now so far away that its apparent angular size is close to the angular size of the even more distant Sun. And once the Moon was so close to the Earth that solar eclipses happened every new moon, although there was still no one to look at them at that time ...

Each solar eclipse is unique in its own way, exactly how the eclipse will look to the terrestrial observer is determined by 3 factors (in addition to weather): the angular diameters (dimensions) of the Sun visible from the observation point α and the moon β and the trajectory of the Moon relative to the Sun and stars (Fig. 2).

Rice. 2. The angular diameters of the Sun visible from the Earth's surface ( α ) and the moon ( β ), the trajectory of the Moon's movement across the starry sky (dotted line).

Due to the fact that the Moon and the Earth move in elliptical orbits (the Moon is sometimes closer, sometimes further from the Earth, and the Earth, in turn, sometimes closer, sometimes further from the Sun), the apparent angular diameter of the Moon, depending on the orbital position, can vary from 29 , 43 "to 33.3" (arc minutes), and the apparent angular diameter of the Sun is from 31.6 "to 32.7". Moreover, their average apparent diameters, respectively, are at the Moon: 31 "05" and at the Sun: 31 "59".
Depending on whether the visible trajectory of the Moon passes through the center of the Sun, or crosses its visible region in an arbitrary place, as well as various combinations of the apparent angular sizes of the Moon and the Sun, three types of solar eclipses are traditionally distinguished: partial, total and annular eclipses ...

Partial solar eclipse

If the observed trajectory of the Moon does not pass through the center of the Sun, then the Moon, as a rule, cannot completely obscure the Sun with itself (Fig. 3) - an eclipse in which the Moon covers the sun is not completely called private (the quotient of the word "part" with the meaning of "partial eclipse"). Such an eclipse can occur at any possible combinations apparent angular diameters of the Moon and the Sun.

Most solar eclipses occurring on Earth are partial eclipses (approximately 68%).

Total solar eclipse

If at any point on the Earth's surface, observers can see that the Moon completely covers the Sun, then such an eclipse is called a total solar eclipse. Such an eclipse occurs when the apparent trajectory of the Moon passes through the center of the Sun or very close to it and at the same time the apparent diameter of the Moon β must be greater than or at least equal to the apparent diameter of the Sun α (fig. 4).

Rice. 4. Total solar eclipse, March 20, 2015 12:46 observed near the North Pole.

A total solar eclipse can be observed within very small areas of the earth's surface, as a rule, it is a strip up to 270 km wide, outlined by the shadow of the moon - observers in the adjacent shaded areas see only a partial solar eclipse (Fig. 5).

Rice. 5. Total solar eclipse, the shadow of the moon on the surface of the Earth, the dark dotted line indicates the trajectories of the shadow region

For any particular area, a total solar eclipse is very rare. In Moscow, for example, the last total solar eclipse was in August 1887 (08/19/1887), and the next one is expected on 10/16/2126. So, sitting in one place, sitting in one place, you may never see a total solar eclipse in your life ( however, in August 1887 Muscovites did not see him anyway due to bad weather). Therefore: "If you want to survive the event, do everything possible to make it happen!" / Slogan of Enthusiasts /
Thank God, on the whole, on the Earth's surface, total eclipses do not happen so rarely, on average, once every one and a half years and make up almost 27% of all variants of eclipses.

Annular solar eclipse

If the trajectory of the motion of the moon passes near the center of the sun, but the apparent angular diameter of the moon is less than the solar β < α , then at the moment of alignment of the centers, the Moon cannot completely obscure the Sun and a ring-shaped glow is created around it, such an eclipse is called annular (Fig. 6), but in oral speech, traditionally striving to express the meaning, the expression annular eclipse was established as briefly as possible, that is, ... "annular solar eclipse" is a term, and "annular eclipse" is just jargon so far ...

Rice. 6. An annular solar eclipse, someday ...

Annular (annular) solar eclipses - currently, the most rare view eclipses, they account for only 5%. But, as we know, the Moon is gradually moving away from the Earth and annular eclipses will happen more and more often.

Why solar eclipses are rare

The main reason that solar eclipses do not occur in our time every new moon is that the plane of the Moon's orbit does not coincide with the plane of the ecliptic (the plane of the Earth's orbit) and is tilted to it at an angle of 5.145 degrees (Fig. 7, pos. 1). In this figure, as, indeed, in all others, the dimensions of the corners and the ratio of the scales of objects are exaggerated for clarity of images.

* Eclipses, eclipse = Z.

Z. - astronomical phenomena, consisting in the fact that the sun, moon, planet, satellite of a planet, or a star cease to be visible to the terrestrial observer in whole or in part. Z. occur due to the fact that either one celestial body covers another, or the shadow of one non-self-luminous body falls on another of the same body. Thus, the Z. of the Sun is observed when it is covered by the Moon; Z. Moon - when the shadow of the Earth falls on it; Z. satellites of planets - when they fall into the shadow of the planet; Z. in systems of double stars - when one star covers another. Z. also includes the passage of the shadow of a satellite over the disk of the planet, the closure of stars and planets by the Moon (the so-called coverings (see Cover)), the passage of the inner planets - Mercury and Venus - along the solar disk, and the passage of satellites across the disk of the planet. With the start of manned flights spaceships it became possible to observe the Earth's sun from these ships (see ill.). The Z. of the Sun and the Moon, connected with the motion of the Moon around the Earth, are of greatest interest.
