Panel #1 (Title)
• This is Outer Space Pals #14. In this episode, we continue to talk about eclipses.

Panel #2
• Eclipses happen when three things line up: The Sun, the Moon, and Earth. There are two main categories of eclipses. When the Moon is between the Sun and Earth, a solar eclipse happens.

Panel #3
• When Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, a lunar eclipse happens.

Panel #4
• This is a good question, because unless you know one important fact, you'd think there'd be an eclipse at every lineup.

Panel #5
• This panel shows why an eclipse doesn't happen at every New Moon (when the Moon is in the middle and we can't see it from Earth). It's because the Moon's orbit tilts a bit (5.1°) to the line between Earth and the Sun.

Panel #6
• Here's why an eclipse doesn't happen at every Full Moon (when Earth is in the middle and we see as much of the Moon as possible).

Panel #7 and #8
• The Moon's shadow touches Earth at least twice and as many as five times each year. Same with Earth's shadow on the Moon.

Panel #9
• Now we know the two main categories of eclipses: solar and lunar. We'll begin to learn about the different types of each in Outer Space Pals #14.
