Question 1
Find the sun in the sky. By changing the time figure out at what time the moon starts blocking the Sun. At what time is the eclipse a maximum? At what time does the moon start blocking the Sun?
Question 2
Due to a complex coincidence of cycles eclipses repeat themselves in a series approximately every 18 years 11 days a length of time known as a saros. Start at August 21st, 2017 and step the time forward 18 years and 11 days or step backwards 18 years and 11 days. Please investigate the solar eclipse that hap- pens on either of those days. How are those eclipses the same or how are they different than the August 21st, 2017 eclipse? Hint: You may have to disable the ground and atmosphere to get a better look.
Question 3
Use Google or your favorite search engine to determine when there will be a lunar eclipse that’s visible from Paducah, KY. When will this be? Is it a partial eclipse or a total eclipse? Use the Stellarium software to investigate the partic- ular eclipse that you found. When does it start? When does it end?
