Definitions:
Solar Eclipse: a new moon where the Moon completely blocks out the Sun from view, causing a temporary decrease in sunlight
Lunar Eclipse: a full moon where the Earth comes in between the Sun and Moon causing a shadow to appear on the Moon in the sky, darkening its appearance
Total: the eclipsing planet totally blocks out the light of the sun
Appulse: the Moon moves only partially into the Earth’s shadow and is only slightly dimmed
Annular: the Moon is too far away and only creates a “ring” effect not totally blocking out the Sun
