The big question in the comments last week was, "BUT WHAT ABOUT ECLIPSES?" Today, Phil breaks 'em down for you.

Here on Earth, we’re used to seeing both lunar and solar eclipses. But further out are eclipses that don’t behave at all the way we expected them to.

Solar and lunar eclipses are celestial phenomena that occur when the sun, moon and Earth align in a way that either the moon casts a shadow on Earth or the latter casts a shadow on the moon. So what are the similarities and differences...

A penumbral eclipse will occur over the Americas between July 4 and July 5, according to NASA.

The longest lunar eclipse of this century will appear over Earth at the end of July, according astronomer Bruce McClure.

It explains solar and lunar eclipses and the causes and conditions for their formation.

The longest lunar eclipse of this century is expected to take place on July 27 for about 1 hour and 43 minutes, reports Space.com.

On March 20th, 2015, the Moon’s shadow will create a total solar eclipse. This video presents several visualizations of what this shadow would look like from space, and highlights the areas of the world in the path of the umbra and...

On April 15th, 2014 there will be a total lunar eclipse visible from North America. Noah Petro, LRO Deputy Project Scientist, discusses this unique event and what effect it will have on the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO)....

This video explains how our moon creates a solar eclipse, why it's such a rare event to see, and how data from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has enhanced our ability to map an eclipse's path of...

It's not often that we get a chance to see our planet's shadow, but a lunar eclipse gives us a fleeting glimpse. During these rare events, the full Moon rapidly darkens and then glows red as it enters the Earth's shadow. Though a...

When the moon passes through the Earth's shadow, it causes the moon to look very unusual for a short period of time. This event is called a lunar eclipse, and it occurs roughly twice a year. There's one viewable to folks outside of...

Why are eclipses rare? The moon's orbit tilts. Sometimes the moon's shadow is too high above the Earth. Sometimes it is too low. Other times, it is just right.
