   Explanation: [5]Eclipses tend to come in pairs. Twice a year, during an
   eclipse season that lasts [6]about 34 days, Sun, Moon, and Earth can
   nearly align. Then the full and new [7]phases of the Moon separated by
   just over 14 days create a lunar and a solar eclipse. Often partial
   eclipses are part of any eclipse season. But sometimes the alignment at
   both new moon and full moon phases during a single eclipse season is
   close enough to produce a pair of both total (or a total and an
   annular) lunar and solar eclipses. For this eclipse season, [8]the New
   Moon following the Full Moon's [9]total lunar eclipse on May 26 did
   produce an annular solar eclipse along its northerly shadow track. That
   eclipse is seen here in a partially eclipsed sunrise on June 10,
   photographed from a fishing pier in Stratford, Connecticut in the
   northeastern US.
