A cereal eclipse is a specific gastronomical phenomenon when the movement of a Cheerio drops out of its regular breakfast table orbit causing it to cross in front of a vent cover on the pipe in the sidewalk with specific alignment. The syzygy between Vent, Pipe, and Cheerio is a rare occurrence. What ever you do, never look directly at the Cheerio during a cereal eclipse without specialized eye protection and a bowl of milk.
