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.
This total eclipse happens about every year and a half somewhere on Earth. A partial eclipse, when the moon doesnât completely cover the sun, happens at least twice a year somewhere on Earth. Note: This diagram is not to scale. In this picture, the moon is covering up the sun in the middle of the day. This total solar eclipse was visible from the northern tip of Australia on November 13, 2012. Image courtesy of Romeo Durscher.
