moon: - phases of the moon: depending on the Moon�s position relative to the Sun‚ we see different parts of the illuminated Moon. - the month:� Moon changes through a complete cycle of phases in about 29.5 days - eclipses To understand these phenomena‚ we have to change our perspective and think about the Moon�s orbit. Some properties of the Moon: Radius 356‚000 km 407‚000 km 15% change from max to min Period of revolution around

The solar eclipse is something that happens when the moon passes between the sun and earth‚ creating a shadow blocking the earth from the sun. According to www.scientificamerican.com‚ people often find themselves in awe by the eclipse‚ one of them being Annie Dillard. She’s fascinated about the eclipse because she even wrote an article about the eclipse‚ called “total eclipse”. In her article‚ she explains how she likes the solar eclipse and how shes in awe.

natural phenomenon. The continuous metamorphosis from new moon to full moon and from waning to waxing crescent can only be explain by the positioning of the moon and its angle in relation to earth’s. Other lunar events such as solar eclipses and lunar eclipses have been mysteries for ages. Throughout time man has made odd excuses to explain why the moon changes its shape. In Inuit legend‚ Anningan the moon god fasts while the moon is waning then on a new moon he comes down to hunt. He then

Albert Einstein – General and Special Theory of Relativity First things to consider before this part of the presentation: Space-time continuum = Space + Time In longer terms: Space-time is a flexible fabric. Space and time are deeply connected. Space-time is flexible; it is malleable. Space-time is curved when there is gravity‚ matter‚ energy‚ and momentum. Special: The faster you reach through space‚ the slower you move through time. (?) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHjpBjgIMVk General:

What is a solar eclipse? A solar eclipse is when the Sun is hidden behind the Moon; the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth‚ blocking the Sun from view. These only occur during a new moon‚ at which time the Moon is seen as a silhouette when passing infront of the Sun. There are total eclipses‚ where the Moon completely covers the Sun‚ and partial eclipses‚ where the Moon only covers part of the

Development on CAEN with Eclipse This handout describes how to set up CAEN on your personal computer so that you can use the Eclipse IDE to develop code remotely on CAEN via ssh. As always‚ we highly recommend developing on CAEN‚ either in the labs or remotely‚ as a very large percentage of student errors in previous terms have been a result of incompatibilities between platforms. Note that staff will prioritize helping students with algorithmic questions above those with questions on Eclipse during office

that the Earth is spherical and it rotates on its own axis which results in day and night. He even concluded that the moon is dark and shines because of the light of sun. He gave a logical explanation to the theory of solar and lunar eclipses. He declared that eclipses are caused due to the shadows casted by the Earth and the moon. Aryabhatta proposed the geocentric model of the solar system which states that the Earth is in the center of the universe and also laid the foundation for the concept of
