SERAMBINEWS.COM, LHOKSEUMAWE – According to the results of astronomical studies, throughout the year 2022, there will be four eclipses, namely two lunar eclipses and two solar eclipses.

So, of the four eclipses that will occur throughout 2022, two will occur this May, namely a Partial Solar Eclipse and a Total Lunar Eclipse.

To note, an eclipse is an event where light from a source is blocked by other objects, such as being blocked by the sun’s light by the moon which causes a solar eclipse and blocking sunlight by the earth causing a lunar eclipse.

A solar eclipse occurs during a new moon phase, while a lunar eclipse occurs during a full moon phase, but not every new moon there will be a solar eclipse and every full moon there will be a lunar eclipse.

This is because the plane of the moon’s orbit around the earth is not parallel to the plane of the earth’s orbit around the sun.

• In 2022, Acehnese can only witness a total lunar eclipse once

If the plane of the moon’s orbit is the same as the plane of the earth’s orbit, it is certain that every new moon there will be a solar eclipse and every full moon there will be a lunar eclipse.

There are four types of solar eclipses.

First, a total solar eclipse, where at the peak of the eclipse, the entire solar disc is covered by the lunar disc so that the sun looks black and emits a beautiful corona light.

Second, a partial eclipse, where at the peak of the eclipse only part of the sun’s disk is covered by the moon’s disk.
