So apparently a lunar eclipse occurs when the earth gets directly in between the moon and the sun; the earth's shadow falls directly on the moon, obscuring the moon.
This got me to thinking about eclipses. What about a solar eclipse? Well, that's when the moon gets directly in between the earth and the sun, obscuring the sun.
So how come no one ever talks about stellar eclipses? Think about how many times the moon gets directly in between the earth and some star, and we no longer see the star. Does anyone ever notice? No. They don't.
What about equality of celestial bodies?
