Biografie van Eclipse
<b>eclipse</b> is an astronomical event that occurs when one celestial object moves into the shadow of another. The term is derived from the ancient Greek noun lang|grc|???????? (''lang|grc-Latn|kleipsis''), from verb lang|grc|??????? (''lang|grc-Latn|eklep?''), "I cease to exist," a combination of prefix lang|grc|??- (''lang|grc-Latn|ek-''), from preposition lang|grc|??, ?? (''lang|grc-Latn|ek, ex''), "out," and of verb lang|grc|????? (''lang|grc-Latn|lep?''), "I am absent".<br />
When an eclipse occurs within a stellar system, such as the Solar System, it forms a type of syzygy—the alignment of three or more celestial bodies in the same gravitational system along a straight line. <br />

The term eclipse is most often used to describe either a solar eclipse, when the Moon's shadow crosses the Earth's surface, or a lunar eclipse, when the Moon moves into the shadow of Earth. However, it can also refer to such events beyond the Earth-Moon system: for example, a planet moving into the shadow cast by one of its moons, a moon passing into the shadow cast by its parent planet, or a moon passing into the shadow of another moon. A binary star system can also produce eclipses if the plane of their orbit intersects the position of the observer.<br />
