An astronomical eclipse occurs when an object is temporarily obscured by passing into the shadow of another body or by having another body pass between it and the observer.

The term is most commonly used to describe solar and lunar eclipses. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's shadow crosses the Earth's surface and a lunar eclipse when the Moon moves into the Earths shadow.
