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.
And thatâs our Moon. (Looked at another way, total solar eclipses aren't rare; they occur roughly once every year or two somewhere on Earth. But any given spot on our planet's surface gets darkened by the Moon's shadow on average only once about every 400 years, so in that sense totality is indeed rare.)
