Most people may think lunar eclipses occur more often because lunar eclipses are visible from a larger geographic area on Earth compared to solar eclipses. Lunar eclipses also last longer and are easier to observe with the naked eye, making them seem more common. However, in reality, both lunar and solar eclipses occur at about the same frequency.
Ancient people often viewed lunar eclipses as ominous signs or messages from the gods. Many cultures believed that the darkening of the moon represented a battle between celestial forces, such as good and evil. In some societies, it was thought to indicate impending disasters or the death of a ruler. Others may have interpreted eclipses as a time for reflection or change, linking them to significant events in their lives or communities.

On earth there are 2 eclipses, Lunar and Solar eclipses
Total solar eclipses can be seen by fewer people because the path of totality is quite narrow, typically only covering a few hundred miles wide. In contrast, lunar eclipses can be observed by anyone on the nighttime side of the Earth, making them visible to a much larger audience. Consequently, lunar eclipses are seen by more people overall compared to total solar eclipses.
Babylonians predicted eclipses based on their observations of celestial events and their mathematical calculations. They used records of previous eclipses to identify patterns and develop predictive models. Babylonian astronomers tracked the movements of the sun, moon, and planets to anticipate when eclipses would occur.
