A total eclipse of the sun is the greatest spectacle in our solar system. Gives an in-depth explanation as time-lapse images capture the full impact of this event. Begins with a discussion of lunar eclipses before moving on to examine auroras. Explores the causes of auroras, and gives examples of two: the Aurora Borealis and the Aurora Australis.
Earth's moon was probably formed when a body the size of Mars collided twice with the planet. The moon is steadily receding into space; eventually, due to the loss of this lunar regulator, Earth will start to wobble, creating climatic chaos. Eclipses can be also seen often when the sun obscures the moon or vice versa. Another light show, the Aurora, occurs when electrified particles from the solar wind interact with Earth's upper atmosphere and is visible particularly in the Polar Regions.
Students take a scientific look at some of the important characteristics of the earth, moon, and sun. Differences and likenesses between earth, moon, and sun are discussed as well as how scientists explore these bodies. The main phases of the moon are addressed, as is the formation of tides. Terminology includes: gravity, atmosphere, lunar phase, tides, eclipse, high tide, and low tide.
Bill Nye uses simple experiments to illustrate the moon's orbit of the earth, its phases, and its lunar and solar eclipses. Explains the moon's glow, its possible origin, and its gravity. Demonstrations clarify scientific facts and principles.
This animation explains what happens during a solar eclipse. It discusses the five phases of all eclipses and discusses the difference between the umbra and the penumbra.
Find out how Albert Einstein used the totality phase of the 1919 solar eclipse to prove his theory of relativity, which predicts that large objects bend “space-time” towards themselves.

David Boboltz of the National Science Foundation explains the hazards of not wearing the appropriate glasses to view the solar eclipse on August 21, 2017. Those wishing to view the eclipse need to make sure they have approved solar glasses so they do not damage their eyes.
What can people expect to see on August 21, 2017? It depends on where one is located. David Boboltz of the National Science Foundation describes the path of the solar eclipse.
David Boboltz of the National Science Foundation provides tips for safely viewing the solar eclipse. He advises viewers to use the appropriate glasses leading up to and after the moment of totality.
Gabriela, Manuel and Leonardo are three friends who accidentally start a rocket that takes them to space. Their journey through space takes them to different planets and strange worlds. Throughout their journey, they have the help of Maqui, an on-board computer. Maqui helps them learn about the universe. Manuel, Gabi and Leo find themselves on a planet where there is always a full moon. The friends and Maqui take the time to learn about the phases of Earth’s moon. They also learn about the moons of other planets.
Explores space stations, lunar bases, and Mars landings as possible solutions to earth's environmental and overpopulation problems. Questions cover both positive and negative aspects of this ambitious, speculative future.
A total solar eclipse will occur on August 21, 2017. It will track from Oregon to South Carolina. David Boboltz from the National Science Foundation describes what viewers can expect to see in various locations.
The inventions of the 1960s were all about transforming science fiction into fact. Robots, satellites and a trip to the moon help make what was once only fantasy, become a reality. Featured inventions include: the Lunar Lander, weather satellites, video game consoles, Tasers, and industrial robots.
