What causes a solar or lunar eclipse? What is a transit and a conjunction? Sometimes objects in space appear to collide with each other, though they are really far apart from each other. Here we will explore the natural causes of these and other celestial events. Many fascinating photos and video clips will serve to illustrate these occurrences. Two major solar eclipses will be visible in the United States in the near future. The first will be an annular solar eclipse in 2023 and the other a total solar eclipse in 2024. This class will educate all on the different kinds of eclipses and similar events, and prepare everyone for these incredible celestial events that you don't want to miss.
