Next, we’ll cover the different types of eclipses and why the placement and size of our moon is unique for eclipses.  Last, we will cover a little folklore of what people thought about eclipses in the past.

How big is big

We’ll look at the size of planets, suns and galaxies.  We’ll try to grasp how far away from each other things are.  Will learn how nothing you see in the sky is where you see it and many things have already died and are long gone.  Will look at how everything moves, sorry what we were taught in school was wrong.
