Lesson 5.  The Sun rises in the East and sets in the West every day, but why does this happen?  The Earth is spinning on its axis.

Motion and Phases of the Moon The Moon appears to rise in the East and set in the West. This apparent motion of the moon is caused by the rotation.

Background Information “Eclipse” Definition: The partial or complete obscuration of the light from one celestial body, because another celestial body is covering it. Lunar Eclipse: When the Moon passes directly behind the Earth into its umbra. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned respectively. Solar Eclipse: When the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, and the Moon fully or partially blocks the Sun.

Lunar Eclipses Occurs when Earth blocks the usual sunlight reflected by the Moon Can be viewed from anywhere on the night side of the Earth Lasts for a few hours, due to the smaller size of the moon's shadow Needs to be a Full Moon for Total Lunar Eclipse In the Umbra (the shadow of Earth casted onto the moon)

Lunar Eclipses: A lunar eclipse lasts for a few hours, because of the smaller size of the moon's shadow. (total solar eclipse lasts for only minutes) Lunar eclipses are safe to view without any eye protection or special precautions, as they are even dimmer than the actual full moon.

Lunar Eclipses

Solar Eclipses A solar eclipse is when the moon passes the sun, casting a shadow on Earth It only occurs during new moon phase (when moon moves to the side of earth facing the sun) The sun and moon may seem the same size but the distance between the moon and earth is a lot closer to the sun so it looks as though the moon is bigger than usual Distance between the earth and the moon is 400x closer than the sun and earth, and the diameter of the sun is 400x bigger than the moon

Solar Eclipses 3 types of solar eclipses: 1. Partial solar eclipse: When the moon covers the sun but not fully. 2. Annular solar eclipse: When the moon seems smaller than the sun (not fully covering) because the moon is either farther from earth or the sun is closer to earth (also known as THE RING OF FIRE) 3. Total solar eclipse: When the moon completely covers the sun leaving the faint solar corona visible Annular solar eclipses occur because the moon orbits an elliptical path making the moon different sizes as its distance from Earth changes. This change in size makes the moon smaller than the sun Partial solar eclipses happen because the moon is not correctly aligned between the sun and earth (showing only a part of the solar eclipse)

Solar Eclipse Facts A solar eclipse is when the Moon completely covers the Sun so only the solar corona can be seen, it is called a Totality The Moon moves across the Sun at 2,250 km per hour Only partial solar eclipses can be seen from the North and South Poles The width of the path of totality is at most 269 km wide Almost identical eclipses occur after 18 years and 11 days, this is known as the Saros Cycle The longest duration for a total solar eclipse is 7.5 minutes.

Solar Eclipse Facts The maximum number of solar eclipses (partial, annular, or total) is 5 per year. There are at least 2 solar eclipses per year on Earth Total solar eclipses happen every 1.5 years Solar eclipses are only possible on Earth (because of the moon’s diameter and its distance from Earth) Because total and partial eclipses are visible from such a small area on Earth each time they occur, the chance of observing a total eclipse from any single spot is less than once in a lifetime :O

THE RING OF FIRE The Ring of Fire: May 9, Northern Australia Only a very few people could see the ring of fire This was the second visible solar eclipse within 6 months seen from northern Australia It was an annular solar eclipse It casted a 120-mile shadow across the sky in Western Australia (at its peak) Lasted about 3-6 minutes (depending where it was viewed from) covered about 95% of the sun

THE RING OF FIRE Wasn’t as important as the other solar eclipse before because the moon was too far away from Earth, not fully covering the sun The solar eclipse before this one was a total solar eclipse “A total eclipse is overall far more spectacular, far more emotional," –Andrew Jacob (Astronomer at Sydney observatory) Indonesia, New Zealand, the South Pacific, and other parts of Australia saw a partial solar eclipse was NOT visible from North America Some people in Hawaii could see a very small part of the eclipse, but no other state could see it.
