Eclipse of the Crescent Moon
The "Eclipse of the Crescent Moon" refers to a celestial event where the Earth passes between the Sun and a crescent moon, causing the moon to partially darken. This phenomenon occurs during a lunar eclipse, specifically when the moon is in its crescent phase, making it a rare sight.
During this event, observers on Earth can see the shadow of the Earth gradually covering part of the moon. The crescent shape of the moon adds a unique visual element, as the illuminated portion contrasts with the shadowed area, creating a striking appearance in the night sky.
