Eclipses and problems related to them have been, from ancient
times, one of the main interests not only of astronomers but indeed
of all mankind. The appearance of eclipses, lunar as well as solar,
excited the imagination of our ancestors and provoked their
curiosity to explain their origin or to use them for the further
investigation of celestial bodies. With the present development of
astronomy the eclipse problems are not limited to the Sun and the
Moon, as in the past, but have been progressively extended to the
components of the solar system and to domains of radiations other
than optical ones. Our intention is to give an account of all these
problems in their theoretical and experimental form with some
additions on their historical development. Those of our readers not
interested in the historical side may feel at first inclined to
ignore this part, but we are sure that eventually they will be
sufficiently interested to repair this omission.
