Educator's Guide to Eclipses . ... In a solar eclipse you observe the Sun (using only safe methods, of course). ... In a lunar eclipse you observe the Moon. ... Because of the geometry described below, you can only view a solar eclipse when the Sun is up, and the Moon is nowhere to be seen. ... Eclipses occur when the Sun, Earth and Moon line up. ...

Next: Meteors in Planetary Atmospheres Up: A. Christou, Research Astronomer Previous: A. Christou, Research Astronomer . Work was concluded on the Phobos eclipse experiment, which was to have taken place in February 2004 on the Beagle 2 lander. The lander reached Mars on Christmas Day 2003, but subsequent attempts to contact it were not successful. The aim of the experiment was to use the shadow of one of the Martian moons, Phobos, to locate the lander on the surface. ...
