Eclipse [localization]
An Obstruction blocks an Eclipsed entity partially or completely from perception. The positions of the Obstruction and the Eclipsed entity are often reported relative to a Vantage_point.
A small green bulb concealed behind the panel flashed on momentarily .
For LUs of this frame marked with the semantic type Visual_modality, visual perception is the base meaning, although some of these words are used metaphorically to cover other perceptual modalities, as in the following:
The note left on her dresser was a veiled threat . CNI
Such cases should be marked with the sentence tag "Metaphor".
