The obscuring of light from a celestial body by the passage of another (7)

I believe the answer is:

eclipse

(Other definitions for eclipse that I've seen before include "Darkening of the sun" , "A deliquium" , "Dominate - put in the shade" , "Heavenly obscuration" , "Heavenly phenomenon" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
