Early Astronomers
• 500 BC Pythagoras - thought Earth was round from moon observations
• 350 BC Aristotle - first to suggest that all planets & stars orbited the Earth (wrong!)
- Earth-Centered model = Geocentric Model

Lunar Eclipses

• Moon moves in between Sun and Earth, blocks sunlight
• Only from within the tiny area where the dark umbra touches the Earth will you see the Sun completely covered and witness a total eclipse.
• From anywhere in the grey penumbra, you will see some part of the sun shining from behind the moon. The penumbra is the area of partial eclipse.
Solar EclipsesHow do they happen?

The Moon is much smaller than the Sun so how can the
Moon block out the Sun?
