What is the story behind solar eclipse?

The total solar eclipse was seen by millions of people on August 21st, 2017. The path of totality crossed the United States from Oregon to South Carolina. The event was so special that it was given a name – a solar eclipse. Even though people have seen solar eclipses before, this one was different because it was the first time one could see the eclipse without any kind of protection from the sun’s harmful rays. This event also had an interesting story behind it.

The moon passed between Earth and the sun and caused the darkness that we experience during a total solar eclipse. It is believed that when God created the world, He placed a “veil” between Earth and the sun. This veil is what we call the atmosphere and it blocks some of the Sun’s radiation. When Jesus came down to Earth, He tore this veil asunder and allowed us to see directly into heaven (John 1:15-17). This moment is commemorated each year during a total solar eclipse because it reminds us of our faith in God.

Some people were scared about seeing a total solar eclipse without any protection from the sun’s harmful rays, but many others were excited for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to view an amazing celestial event. Many people traveled great distances to witness this incredible sight firsthand.

What is hidden during a solar eclipse?

During a solar eclipse, the moon blocks the sun’s light from reaching Earth. This creates an eerie and amazing sight – a “dark night sky.” But what is hidden during a solar eclipse?
The moon’s shadow covers the Earth, blocking the sun’s light. So during a solar eclipse, things that normally would be brightly lit up – like the sun, stars, and planets – are dark. This is why it’s so cool to see !

What is the rarest eclipse called?

The rarest solar  is called the “Great American Eclipse.” It will be visible across a broad swath of the United States on August 21, 2017. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see one of nature’s most awe-inspiring spectacles.

What eclipse only happens every 100 years?

Every 100 years, a rare event happens in which the Earth crosses the path of the Moon. This is called an eclipse and it can be seen from almost any part of the world. Unfortunately, not everyone gets to witness this amazing phenomenon.

Solar eclipses are only visible when the Moon passes in front of the Sun. When this happens, the Moon casts a shadow on Earth. This shadow can be seen anywhere that has a clear view of the sky.

Although solar eclipses are rare, they are worth watching because they are so beautiful. They usually last for about two hours, but sometimes they last for up to seven minutes.
