It seems like you might be referring to "eclipse.

" An eclipse is an astronomical event that occurs

when one celestial body moves into the shadow of another celestial body, resulting in a temporary
decrease in brightness or a change in appearance. The two main types of eclipses are solar eclipses
and lunar eclipses:

1. **Solar Eclipse:** A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun,
blocking all or part of the Sun's light from reaching the Earth. During a total solar eclipse, the Sun is
completely obscured by the Moon, creating a brief period of darkness known as totality in the
regions within the Moon's shadow (umbra). Partial solar eclipses occur when only a portion of the
Sun is covered by the Moon, and annular solar eclipses occur when the Moon is too far from the
Earth to completely cover the Sun, resulting in a ring of sunlight (annulus) around the edges of the
Moon.

2. **Lunar Eclipse:** A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon,
causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon. Lunar eclipses can be partial, total, or penumbral,
depending on the extent to which the Moon enters the Earth's shadow. During a total lunar eclipse,
the entire Moon may appear reddish-orange or "blood-red" due to the scattering of sunlight by the
Earth's atmosphere, giving rise to the term "blood moon."

Eclipses are predictable events that occur periodically due to the orbital motion of the Earth, Moon,
and Sun. They provide valuable opportunities for scientific study and observation of celestial
phenomena. However, viewing a solar eclipse without proper eye protection can cause permanent
eye damage, so it is essential to use special eclipse glasses or other safe viewing methods. Lunar
eclipses, on the other hand, can be observed with the naked eye and are safe to watch without
protective eyewear.
