Eclipses are like when one celestial object blocks another from view, making the sky go dark. Imagine the Moon acting like a giant shield and blocking out the Sun, that’s a solar eclipse! It looks dramatic because it happens so quickly and changes everything in the sky. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth blocks sunlight from reaching the Moon, giving it a red glow, like it's wearing a cloak of fire.
Examples
