astronomical events

Astronomical events are significant phenomena that occur in space, often involving celestial bodies like stars, planets, and moons. Common examples include solar and lunar eclipses, where the Earth, Sun, and Moon align, causing one body to block the light of another. Meteor showers happen when Earth passes through trails of debris left by comets. Other events include planetary transits, where a planet moves in front of a star, and supernovae, explosive deaths of massive stars. These events offer insight into the dynamics of our universe and can be viewed from Earth, often inspiring awe and curiosity about the cosmos.
