One might expect that lunar and solar eclipses
would occur every month as the Moon orbits
the Earth.
This does not happen because the Moon's orbit
is actually tilted by a little more than five
degrees relative to the Earth's orbit around
the Sun.
It is rare that the Moon is in the Earth's
shadow during a full moon or between the Earth
and Sun during a new moon.
