% Computes eclipses.

   Since version 1.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Form:
   [n, eclipseType] = Eclipse( rSC, rSource, rPlanet, radiusPlanet, radiusSource )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

   ------
   Inputs
   ------
   rSC             (3,:)      Position vector of the spacecraft
   rSource         (3,: or 1) Position vector of the light source
   rPlanet         (3,: or 1) Position vector of the planet causing the eclipse
                              (default is zeros)
   radiusPlanet    (1,1)      Radius of the planet causing the eclipse 
                              (default is the Earth)
   radiusSource    (1,1)      Radius of the light source (default is the sun)

   -------
   Outputs
   -------
   n               (1,:)      Normalized Source intensity ( 0 < n < 1 )
   eclipseType     (1,:)      0 = none 1 = partial, 2 = annular 3 = total
