19. Geometry and Rhythm

24. The Sun-Earth-Moon System Both the Sun and Moon are 1/2  in diam. This is the same as a dime held at 6 1/2 ft. Our horizon rotates 15  /hr. The Moon moves 1 diameter / hr (2500 MPH) thru stars. The Moon rises 50 minutes later each day. The Earth moves 8 diameters / hr (65,000 MPH) around the Sun. Key Points

31. The Geometry of Shadows Umbra is the area of full shadow. Total Eclipse Penumbra is the area of partial shadow. Partial Eclipse Antumbra is the region beyond the Umbra. Annular Eclipse Key Points

37. Lunar Rhythms Solar Eclipses require a New Moon. Lunar Eclipses require a Full Moon. The Moon’s orbit is tilted 5° (9 diameters) Four primary rhythms: New to New, rising and falling, in and out, & yearly seasons Eclipse Seasons occur every 6 lunar months because of the first two rhythms. All four rhythms repeat every 18 years. Key Points
