Our current calender is based on the movement of the Sun whereas the Islamic and Chinese calender are all Lunar calenders. Every Lunar moon begins with a new moon phrase. Although we cannot see the new moon phrese,it has a very special significance with regardto eclipses, especially the eclipse of the Sun. Nowadays, many young people are less interess in studing and seeking careers in scince,perticularly astronomy. This hopes that this topic on eclipses will stimulate their interest in scince and helped them to develop interest in careers such as astronomer,astronautand astrophysicist.
