Easter Symbols-lambs, spring flowers, eggs and birds (often chicks) are popular Irish Easter symbols, with the Easter bunny having earned a place as well. Cue greeting cards, decorations and chocolate facsimiles until you can't enjoy them any more.
There are at least four eclipses every year â two solar and two lunar. Four is a common number of eclipses in a year; for example, the years 2015 and 2016 have four eclipses. But four is also the minimum number.
The Moon is immediately behind the Earth in its orbit. Lunar eclipses can be partial or total. The alignment of Sun, Earth, and Moon happens 2 to 5 times a year for solar eclipses, but total eclipses occur about once every 18 months, and affect only a small area on the Earth's surface.
