Question by a t: Is it possible for there to be a full moon at night then the very next day have a full solar eclipse?
I watched the movie Apocalypto by mel gibson a while back and this happened in the movie. When I was watching it I didn't think this was possible but wasn't sure. There was a full moon at night (while the main character was running from those in pursuit) then the next day after he had been caught there was a full solar eclipse.
Best answer:
Answer by Dr BobNo. A lunar eclipse always occurs at full moon, and a solar eclipse at new moon, so they must be separated by at least about 14 or 15 days.
Sounds like a case of literary (or cinematographic) license.
