Astronomically, [[Rahu]] and Ketu denote the points of intersection of the paths of the [[Sun]] and the [[Moon]] as they move on the [[celestial sphere]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|last=Santhanam|first=R.|url=http://archive.org/details/BPHSEnglish|title=Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra (vol. 1)|pages=24}}</ref> Therefore, Rahu and Ketu are respectively called the north and the south [[lunar node]]s. The fact that [[eclipse]]s occur when the Sun and the Moon are at one of these points gives rise to the understanding of swallowing of the Sun and the Moon by the snake. Ketu is responsible for causing the [[Eclipse of the Moon]].<ref name=":0" /> | Astronomically, [[Rahu]] and Ketu denote the points of intersection of the paths of the [[Sun]] and the [[Moon]] as they move on the [[celestial sphere]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|last=Santhanam|first=R.|url=http://archive.org/details/BPHSEnglish|title=Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra (vol. 1)|pages=24}}</ref> Therefore, Rahu and Ketu are respectively called the north and the south [[lunar node]]s.
