Solar and Lunar Eclipses in Astronomy

Dive into the fascinating world of solar and lunar eclipses through vivid imagery and informative descriptions. Learn about the different types of eclipses, such as total and partial solar eclipses, as well as lunar eclipses caused by Earth's shadow. Discover the intricate dance between the Sun, Moon, and Earth that results in these awe-inspiring celestial events.

3. Solar Eclipse-The moon blocks out the Sun and creates a shadow on the Earth

4. Solar Eclipse An eclipse of the Sun (or solar eclipse) can only occur at New Moon when the Moon passes between Earth and Sun. Penumbra (partial eclipse) The Moon's faint outer shadow. Partial solar eclipses are visible from within the penumbral shadow. Umbra (total Eclipse) The Moon's dark inner shadow. Total solar eclipses are visible from within the umbral shadow

5. Solar Eclipse: Total vs. Partial ANIMATION

6. Total Eclipse of the Sun T06-1118m1n

7. Total Eclipse of the Sun-Diamond Ring Stage just before the total eclipse

8. Partial Solar Eclipse

9. Partial Solar Eclipse

10. Partial Solar Eclipse T06-1072-1n

11. Lunar Eclipse-When the Earth casts a shadow on the moon. It can only happen during a full moon.

12. Progression of a lunar eclipse

13. Lunar Eclipse video video

14. Partial Lunar Eclipse Moon is closest to the center of the shadow Oct 18 at 7:50 PM Maximum Eclipse

15. Next North American Solar Eclipse http://images.nationalgeographic.com/wpf/media-live/photos/000/612/cache/01-queensland-australia-eclipse_61235_600x450.jpg

16. Tides Tides are caused by the interaction of the sun, moon, and the Earth. Gravity is pulling the Earth towards the moon and towards the Sun. It s what keeps us in our orbit! That pull of gravity, causes the water on the Earth to be pulled further in one direction at different times of the month.

17. Daily Tides Every day there are high tides and low tides. At the Jersey shore, there are two high and two low tides every day. Why would it be important to know the times of the tides?

18. Monthly tides The changes of the alignment of the Earth, Sun and the Moon will cause the tides to be greater than normal or lower than normal. There are two types of monthly Tides: Spring Tides and Neap Tides

19. Video Tides video

20. Spring Tides The Sun, the Moon, and the Earth are all in a straight line. Results in the highest high tides, and the lowest low tides (twice a month) Greatest tidal range during the month

21. Neap Tides The Sun, the Moon, and the Earth are at right angles to each other That makes the lowest high tides and the highest low tides The Tidal Range is the smallest

22. Tides Spring Tide Neap Tide

24. Tidal Range The tidal range is the measured distance between the high tide and the low tide.
