The air purifier froze because there was a rare eclipse.
Correct Answer
True. The story explains that the space station experienced one of the rare eclipses by Earth's shadow that night, which caused part of the air purifier to freeze up. This freezing led to the malfunction that the alarm system failed to detect.

Explanation
The text explicitly states: 'we'd had one of our rare eclipses by Earth's shadow that night; part of the air purifier had frozen up, and the single alarm in the circuit had failed to go off.' The eclipse caused the temperature drop that led to the freezing of the air purifier component.
