Understood, but, do they “pass overhead”? I have only heard this term used in discussions about total solar eclipses.

I mean, an eclipse certainly isn’t moving underground…

Depends which side of the planet you’re on

I'd imagine they pass overhead in a similar way to that total solar eclipses do.
