Lesson 41
The photo in this lesson shows an eclipse of the moon,
also known as a lunar eclipse. These events are quite
common.
An eclipse of the moon occurs when the earth is
between the moon and the sun, so in effect the earth
casts a shadow over the moon. Very often the moon
changes from its normal yellowish colour to an orange
colour when there is a full eclipse.
