Solar Eclipse
Sun and moon as seen during the event
"A Solar Eclipse is happening!"
A Solar Eclipse is a Hardmode event that occurs rarely after at least one Mechanical Boss has been defeated. A Solar Eclipse has a 1/25 (4%) chance of occurring on any particular day. On the 
Desktop version. it is also possible to summon a Solar Eclipse using a Solar Tablet (crafted from Solar Tablet Fragments dropped by Lihzahrds and Flying Snakes in the Jungle Temple ).
During a Solar Eclipse, unique and difficult enemies spawn at very high rates, even near NPCs. The event lasts for one entire day, from sunrise to sunset, regardless of the number of enemies that have been killed. The moon is visible in front of the sun, causing the ambient light level to drop to near-nighttime levels.
A Solar Eclipse is announced at the beginning of a day with the status message. "A solar eclipse is happening!" The event only affects the surface layer. and can be avoided by burrowing well into the underground layer or below.

Survive a solar eclipse.
- There is a 4% chance for a Solar Eclipse to occur each dawn, even if one happened the previous day. It is possible for multiple Solar Eclipses to occur in a row. It is also possible for a Blood Moon to follow a Solar Eclipse, or vice-versa.
- It is possible for other events to occur at the same time as a Solar Eclipse, such as a Goblin Invasion or a Pirate Invasion. Other events may cancel Solar Eclipse enemy spawns (except in the Desktop version after 1.3.0.1 ).
- Unlike a Blood Moon, a Solar Eclipse only allows its own enemies to spawn on the surface, except for in Corruption. Crimson. and Ocean areas.
- On the Mobile version. if you quit the game when the Solar Eclipse message is shown, the event will not occur.
- On the Mobile version and Console version. instead of getting the Broken Hero Swords from Mothron. you get them from Frankensteins and Swamp Things .
