An eclipse of the sun was used to check the mathematics in Einstein's Theory of Relativity. When there is a solar eclipse, you can take a picture of the stars in the sky right next to the moon. You can also take a picture of the same stars in the winter. You can compare the difference in position. When you look at the difference you see the effects of the moon's gravity on starlight. A lot of people find that interesting. Other features are also interesting.

How do you view an eclipse?
Well first you go outside. Then you look up at the sky. Now a lunar eclipse involves the moon and a solar involves the sun. I have personally seen a lunar eclipse. The moon's surface turns a dark brown because of Earth's shadow. A solar eclipse is much more interesting. During a solar, the moon moves in front of the sun covering everything but the rim called the corona. Wear sunglasses when viewing a solar eclipse.
What is a solar eclipse what is a lunar eclipse?
Interesting! It depends on how you think about it. If you stand on one spot on the earth then the period of totality for a solar eclipse will be a maximum of about 7 mins. while from the same spot the period of totality for a lunar eclipse will last about 50 mins. However, during a solar eclipse the shadow of the moon races across the face of the earth from west to east, and while any one spot is only in totality for a few minutes, the shadow is present on the planet for (3 -3.5 hours), much longer than a lunar eclipse lasts.

Why is the eclipse unusual?
An eclipse requires the earth moon and sun to be very close to a straight line and that is not a frequent occurrence - particularly because the plane of the lunar orbit around the earth is not he same as the plane of the earth's orbit around the sun.
