celestial phenomena

Celestial phenomena refer to various natural events that occur in space, typically observable from Earth. These include events like solar and lunar eclipses, where the Sun, Earth, and Moon align in specific ways, causing shadows. Other phenomena include meteor showers, which occur when Earth passes through debris left by comets, and auroras, dazzling lights produced by charged particles from the Sun interacting with Earth’s magnetic field. Additionally, stars twinkle due to atmospheric disturbances, while planets, unlike stars, shine steadily as they reflect sunlight. These events enrich our understanding of the cosmos and our place within it.
