Annual Solar Eclipse 2023
Eclipses occur when one object passes in front of another or when an object passes in between two aligned objects. For a solar eclipse to occur, the Moon must pass in between the Earth and the Sun. This passing casts a shadow on the Earth, and only those in the shadow can witness the eclipse. When the Moon is furthest from us (at apogee), only part of the Sun is covered, and this is known as an annular solar eclipse (2023).
