Why is there eclipse dilemma?
Every month, confusion or dilemma regarding eclipse on the full moon or new moon date arises due to differences in astronomical calculations. It is true that a lunar eclipse always occurs on a full moon day and a solar eclipse always occurs on a new moon day, but this does not happen on every new moon day. A solar eclipse occurs only when the Sun, Moon and Earth come in a straight line.
