¿Por qué no hay eclipses cada mes?

The video tutorial explains the concept of eclipses, including the terms eclipsis and syzygy. It describes how solar eclipses occur when the moon is between the Earth and the sun, and why they don't happen every month due to the moon's orbit being inclined to the ecliptic. The video also discusses lunar nodes, which are points where the moon's orbit crosses the ecliptic, and how eclipses occur when the moon is near these nodes. It highlights the predictability of eclipses, thanks to historical observations by the Mayans and Babylonians, and explains the different types of eclipses: total, annular, and partial.
