Syzygy is an astronomical term describing the alignment of three celestial bodies in a nearly straight line. The word comes through Latin from the Greek syzygia, meaning a union, conjunction, or pairing together. In the Earth, Moon, and Sun system, a syzygy occurs during every new moon and full moon, when the three bodies become aligned in space. Solar eclipses occur when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun during an especially precise alignment, while lunar eclipses occur when Earth passes between the Sun and Moon.
