Eclipse \E*clipse"\, n. [F. [82]clipse, L. eclipsis, fr. Gr.       [?], prop., a forsaking, failing, fr. [?] to leave out,       forsake; [?] out + [?] to leave. See {Ex-}, and {Loan}.]       1. (Astron.) An interception or obscuration of the light of             the sun, moon, or other luminous body, by the intervention             of some other body, either between it and the eye, or             between the luminous body and that illuminated by it. A             lunar eclipse is caused by the moon passing through the             earth's shadow; a solar eclipse, by the moon coming             between the sun and the observer. A satellite is eclipsed             by entering the shadow of its primary. The obscuration of             a planet or star by the moon or a planet, though of the             nature of an eclipse, is called an occultation. The             eclipse of a small portion of the sun by Mercury or Venus             is called a transit of the planet.          Note: In ancient times, eclipses were, and among                unenlightened people they still are, superstitiously                regarded as forerunners of evil fortune, a sentiment of                which occasional use is made in literature.                            That fatal and perfidious bark, Built in the                         eclipse, and rigged with curses dark. --Milton.          2. The loss, usually temporary or partial, of light,             brilliancy, luster, honor, consciousness, etc.;             obscuration; gloom; darkness.                         All the posterity of our fist parents suffered a                      perpetual eclipse of spiritual life.   --Sir W.                                                                               Raleigh.                         As in the soft and sweet eclipse, When soul meets                      soul on lovers' lips.                        --Shelley.          {Annular eclipse}.
