Solar Eclipse Barcelona 

Event date: June and December 2020

Solar Eclipse Barcelona. A solar eclipse can be seen when the Moon passes directly between the Earth and the Sun, blocking all or a portion of the Sun.

A solar eclipse can be total, partial, annular or hybrid

A total solar eclipse is when the moon blocks out the Sun completely. A partial solar eclipse is when it blocks out a portion of the Sun.

An annular solar eclipse is when the moon is at its furthest point in orbit and does not cover the sun completely and will have  a thin ring of light around the outside of the moon.

A hybrid solar eclipse only occurs about 10 times a century. It is called hybrid because from certain points on the surface of Earth it appears as a total eclipse, whereas at other points on the earch, it appears as annular eclipse.

An annular eclipse is when moon lies too far from earth to cover the sun completely.

Lunar Eclipse Barcelona

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes behind the earth causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the moon and obscure it. It can only happen when there is a full moon. There are three types of lunar eclipse, a penumbral lunar eclipse, a partial lunar eclipse and a total lunar eclipse. 

Lunar eclipses only happen 2 to 4 times each year because the moon's orbit around the earth is different from the earth's orbit around the sun. 

Lunar Eclipses in Barcelona are expected in 2013 on 25th April 2013 (partial lunar eclipse at 20:57) and on 25th May a penubral lunar eclipse at 04.10) and on 18th October another penubral lunar eclipse at 23:50.  It is safe to watch a lunar eclipse with the naked eye and a telescope is recommended.
