1. An eclipse happens when one space object blocks another-like the Moon blocking the Sun or the Earth blocking the Moon.

2. There are two main types of eclipses: solar eclipses and lunar eclipses.

3. A solar eclipse happens when the Moon moves in front of the Sun, making it look dark during the day!

4. A lunar eclipse happens when the Earth blocks sunlight from reaching the Moon, making it look red or dark.

5. Solar eclipses can be total, partial, or annular, depending on how much of the Sun is covered.

6. Never look directly at a solar eclipse! It can hurt your eyes. Use special glasses or watch it through a pinhole projector.

7. A total solar eclipse is rare and only lasts a few minutes, but it turns day into night for a short time!

8. Lunar eclipses are safe to watch with your eyes because they're not as bright as the Sun.

9. Eclipses don't happen every month because the Moon's orbit is tilted, so sometimes it misses blocking the Sun or Earth.

10. Ancient people thought eclipses were magical or scary, but now we know they're just a cool space event!
