Solar Eclipse

May 15, 2008

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth so that the Sun blocked by the Moon. This can only happen during a new moon, when the Sun and Moon are in conjunction as seen from the Earth. Solar eclipses happen very rarely. The next eclipse will happen on August 1, 2008, so be sure to watch it!

This is a video of an eclipse that happened in 2006.
