One of the natural phenomena that is very closely related to the culture of the Indonesian people is the eclipse. Events give birth to traditions in people's lives in the form of knowledge systems and rites. This study aims to find out how the conception of cosmological is understood by the public. Furthermore, more specifically, it explains how eclipse events are understood and addressed by the Javanese people in the form of a system of knowledge and rites. The research method applies the descriptive type through qualitative methods. Data collection through literature studies. The results of the study show that the concept of cosmology in Javanese culture has been known since the entry of Hindu-Buddhist culture and developed under the influence of Islamic culture.
