Did you watch the solar eclipse (nishoku - 日食)
 on Monday?  My family & I met another family in a park near our 
apartment, where we watched the eclipse through special 
glasses.  It was a great experience!

Monday's eclipse is called a "golden-ring eclipse" (kinkan nishoku - 金環日食) in Japanese.  It's commonly known as a "ring-of-fire eclipse" in English.

In conversation English, “to 
eclipse” can also mean to make another thing or person less famous or 
successful by being more famous or successful. For example, in the 
1980s, handsome young actor Eric Roberts seemed certain to become a big 
star.
