The total or partial obscuring of one celestial body by another (7)

I believe the answer is:

eclipse

(Other definitions for eclipse that I've seen before include "When one body hides another" , "When one celestial body obscures another" , "Lunar/solar phenomenon" , "Black out" , "famous racehorse" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
