The rare occurrence of an eclipse is one of the most unique experiences we see as humans. We all know the basic gist of what actually occurs, but here’s a quick review be- fore we get into the more interesting stuff, like the folklore and myths that surround the great event. Since the sun and the moon appear to be the same size from earth (although, in reality, the sun is far larger), when the moon passes by the sun, it causes total darkness. The longest total eclipse took place on June 20, 1955, and lasted for seven minutes and eight seconds. A partial solar eclipse takes place when the moon only partially covers the sun, hence the name. An annular solar eclipse happens when the moon looks smaller than the sun and a sliver of the sun can be still be seen. A hybrid solar eclipse happens when an annular changes to a total solar eclipse and vice versa as it’s trav- Courtesy eling.
