A special time occurs twice a year when the sun, moon, and Earth align in a straight line. This period, lasting about 34 days, is called the "eclipse season," during which lunar eclipses and solar eclipses occur. However, it is rare for both lunar and solar eclipses to appear completely. Most often, they are partial eclipses, and occasionally, there are special cases where total lunar eclipses and total solar eclipses, or annular solar eclipses appear as pairs.
During last year's eclipse season, a partial lunar eclipse occurred on Sept. 18, and an annular solar eclipse occurred on Oct. 2. This year, a total lunar eclipse will take place on March 14, followed by a partial solar eclipse on March 29, and then a total lunar eclipse on Sept. 8, along with a partial solar eclipse on Sept. 21.
