Question by Eric: Has there ever been a total solar eclipse and total lunar eclipse in the same lunar revolution?
I know the moon is inclined about 16 degrees, but I imagine this is possible since the sun's inclination is greater than that.
Best answer:
Answer by ArkaliusThe moon's ecliptic inclination is only about 5.1 degrees. It's equatorial inclination varies over the course of just over 18 years from 18.3 degrees to 28.6 degrees and back again, due to the precession of it's nodes.
In the epoch of human existence, a total lunar and total solar eclipse occurring in the same lunation would be impossible and has not happened. In the distant past, when the moon was closer, and therefore appeared larger, it is likely that it was able to create both total solar and lunar eclipses in the same lunation.

Why is it bad to stare at a solar eclipse?
Question by xcloudxstrifex: Why is it bad to stare at a solar eclipse?
North America's next solar eclipse is in 2017, I want to watch it. But why do I need to put on dimming glasses? Isn't the sunlight being blocked out by the moon enough to not do any harm?

Answer by J. Frost"Isn't the sunlight being blocked out by the moon enough to not do any harm?"
No, theres still enough light to damage your eyes. Not so-much when the moon completely obscures the sun, but in the transition phases, where the sun is only partially covered. Its easy to not notice the damage being done.
