What’s The Difference Between All of the Eclipses?

I’d heard of a lunar, a solar, and a full eclipse, and I’m sure I’ve heard of “annular” before, but I’m not always in the path of totality and don’t get to experience them as often as I would hope.

While I was at the annular event at the Fleet Science Center in San Diego, I had a chance to talk with Dave Decker, the President of the San Diego Astronomy Association, who explained everything I needed to know about eclipses.
