How many days are in an eclipse season?
When the new Moon appears within 18-3/4 days before or after the alignment of a node, a solar eclipse will take place. This creates a 37-1/2-day time window for eclispes, called an eclipse season.

About Solar Eclipse
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon's orbit takes it to a position between the Earth and the Sun. The moon's image makes it appear that a 'bite' is taken out of the sun. The moon can completely cover the sun (at least it appears so) during a total eclipse of the sun. These are very rare, and in ancient times were thought to be mystical occurrences.
