occultation
n 1: one celestial body obscures another [synonym: {eclipse},
{occultation}]

Occultation \Oc`cul*ta"tion\, n. [L. occultatio a hiding, fr.
occultare, v. intens. of occulere: cf. F. occultation. See
{Occult}.]
1. (Astron.) The hiding of a heavenly body from sight by the
intervention of some other of the heavenly bodies; --
applied especially to eclipses of stars and planets by the
moon, and to the eclipses of satellites of planets by
their primaries.
[1913 Webster]

2. (Fig.:) The state of being occult.
[1913 Webster]

periods of occultation. --Jeffrey.

[1913 Webster]


Eclipse \E*clipse"\ ([-e]*kl[i^]ps"), n. [F. ['e]clipse, L.
eclipsis, fr. Gr. 'e`kleipsis, prop., a forsaking, failing,
fr. 'eklei`pein to leave out, forsake; 'ek out lei`pein 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.
[1913 Webster]

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.
[1913 Webster]

That fatal and perfidious bark,
Built in the eclipse, and rigged with curses
dark. --Milton.
[1913 Webster]

2. The loss, usually temporary or partial, of light,
brilliancy, luster, honor, consciousness, etc.;
obscuration; gloom; darkness.
[1913 Webster]

All the posterity of our fist parents suffered a
perpetual eclipse of spiritual life. --Sir W.
Raleigh.
[1913 Webster]

As in the soft and sweet eclipse,
When soul meets soul on lovers' lips. --Shelley.
[1913 Webster]
