About This Product
Moving the orbital lever brings the Moon between the Sun and the Earth to throw a small shadow on part of the globe, then carries the Earth between the Sun and the Moon to show the umbra and penumbra of a lunar eclipse. Sliding the Moon along its tilted track shows that eclipses happen only when it crosses the nodes where its orbit meets the ecliptic, which is why most new and full moons pass without one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Solar and Lunar Eclipse STEM Lab tilt the Moon’s orbit?
The 5° tilt shows that the Moon usually passes above or below the Sun-Earth line, so eclipses occur only near the orbital nodes.
