Solar & Lunar Eclipses Activity Book
With the recent total lunar eclipse and two upcoming solar eclipses also observable in America in 2023 and 2024, I thought it would be a good idea to share some science behind these events. So I wrote a book on Solar & Lunar Eclipses with some fun STEM hands-on activities and made an accompanying video to enhance what's in the book. The video is 38 minutes long and I'll send you the link upon purchasing the book.
