00:00:00 - Ryan Ridden-Harper: Eclipses and Shadows in Space

Just like a basketball sitting in the Sun, planets and moons cast shadows. These enormous shadows can cause eclipses, change the colour of the Moon, and help us discover strange new worlds light years away from us. To prepare for the partial lunar eclipse on the 5th of June 2020, let's talk about eclipses!

This talk is suitable for both children and adults.
