An eclipse is a natural phenomenon that happens when the Sun, Moon, and Earth line up. Eclipses result in a unique view of either the sun or the Moon. There are 2 main types of eclipses: solar and lunar eclipse. A solar eclipse happens when the Moon crosses the path between the sun and the Earth - casting a shadow that can be visible when you look at the Sun. A lunar eclipse happens when the Earth crosses the path between the Moon and the sun - casting a visible shadow on the Moon.
