Jupiter and Venus appear to be very close together in the night sky, with the two planets passing each other in what's known as a conjunction.
While these are the popularized names associated with the monthly full moon, each one carries its own significance across Native American tribes .A total solar eclipse will occur on April 20, visible to those in Australia, New Zealand, Southeast Asia and Antarctica. This kind of event occurs when the moon moves between the sun and Earth, blocking out the sun.
Like a total solar eclipse, the moon passes between the sun and the Earth during an annular eclipse - but it occurs when the moon is at or near its farthest point from Earth, according to NASA. This causes the moon to appear smaller than the sun, so it doesn't completely block out our star and creates a glowing ring around the moon.
Be sure to wear proper eclipse glasses to safely view solar eclipses, as the sun's light can be damaging to the eye.
