Thanks a million. I thoroughly enjoyed your content and narration. To my mind, your video is second to none that I have seen. Truly educational and well explained in a logical sequence of sub-topics on the inherent nature of the moon itself and its relationship to the earth and the sun that manifest itself as our perception of an exciting, mysterious and a marvellous satellite that our moon is in our life. Wonderful!
Great educational value. Finally at 65yo age I get it and understand it. Now I will unfortunately forget it, probably. But I know where to renew the knowledge
Thank you very much, I've always sought an explanation as to why eclipses do not occur every lunar month. This explanation is clear, concise and well supported with graphics.
Thank you so much for making this video. It finally helped me understand the lunar orbital precession visually and I had been looking for a while. Great work
Such complexity explained so simply. Salute to you. Animations are great, voice and speed of explanation is perfect. Looking forward to more videos from you. 👍👍👍 may you make video about precision of orbital plane of moon and sidereal and synodic month? And also about Equinox??
This is a wonderful video! It's very difficult for me to be able to explain why we get eclipses with the moon's orbit at a tilt. This will really help my students!
Very well explained with clear animations. I am learning at my age 83 from your top class video. Thank you for your making this video. I wonder how complex celestial mechanics is with so many variables. Your explanation for the red moon during total lunar eclipse is impressive. Thank you from India.
What a wonderful lovely video, thank you! The peculiarities of the moon's orbit and particularly its inclination have left me wondering many times. I'm so happy to find a comprehensive explanation. I'd love to see more around the time-lapse sequence showing how the appearance of the moon changes over the course of an appropriate length of time, and I wonder if there is actually a repeating cycle which could be observed - it sounds like there are several cycles which are necessarily synchronised at all. Thanks again.
Thank you for this great explanation! So hard to find a visual like this. The only thing more I cannot visualize is why the solar eclipse shadow moves west to east when the earth's rotation is so much faster than the lunar prograde orbit around the earth.
What an extraordinary explanation. Sir, you are the best teacher I ever had. It just cant get any better. This video is 2 things that don't usually coexist: technicality and beauty. May I ask what do you use for making these extraordinary animations
If I understand well the lunar standstills are caused by the precession, when the orbit tilts in the same direction as the tilt of the earth rotation axes, they re-inforce and the moon goes higher or lower during one rotation around earth... and when the orbit tilts in the opposite direction this is lower... and exactly in between the path of the moon in the sky matches the path of the sun...
10:21 Photographer missed to erase that thing on the ”moon” that casts a shadow on the ”sunbeams” How do you create shadows on sunlight? With a sheet and some studio lamps? Pictures is from Wikipedia commons.
8:29 imagine the Moon being a lens and that red line being a Sunlight focus. Sizzle sizzle. Life would be much more exciting as Moon's path is so messed up.
This might seem rudimentary, but I've just learnt the effects of Axial precision on on the equinoxes and solstices - for some reason I thought that they were effected by earth's elliptical orbit and that the solstices coincided with its orbital apsis!
Your animation of the precession cleared a lot of my thoughts. I am curious what is the reference point for the apogee and perigee - I mean what happens with the elliptical orbit of the moon around the earth, watching the solar system from above - what does it stay aligned with?
I'm glad it helped. Apogee and perigee are relative to the Moon's major axis, which in turn is independent of the line of nodes. It's otherwise independent of phase, which is why we can't get eclipses unless the line of nodes is pointed toward the sun and when the Moon is at new & full phases.
17:00 I believe the Nodal precession is clockwise seen from above according to the simulation. And also the alignment is about 10 days earlier, NOT later. The narrative contradicts what the video is trying to explain and ends unexpectedly, don't know why?
Yeah, I messed up my narration on this. The orbit is precessing *"clockwise"* and the eclipse arrives ~10 days *earlier* than it otherwise would have. Got the animation right but botched the narration :(
Did u mention,towards the end, the movement of the center of moons "orbit" as "counter clockwise"... Both in the image and in the animation it moved clockwise... And also clockwise tallies with the astrological calculation because the nodes move clockwise, where as rest of the planets go anticlockwise
We don't need the ellipticity of the orbit to peek behind the corner and see a part of the rear side of the moon. The Earth has a diameter of 12000 km. The moon is something between 300 000 and 400 000 km away. As we spin on Earth once around a day, we wobble side to side with a peak-to-peak amplitude of 12 000 km and that is more than the diameter of the moon. So the moon is apparently turning a bit and we can see part of the rear side. In other words: if you and your friend living on a different continent photograph the moon at the same time and then share the pics, they will be different. One pic will show parts which are not on the other pic and vice versa. Also, if you combine the pics, you get a stereo 3D picture. The rotation of the Earth is creating a parallax base of 12 000 km.
What you have failed to account for, is that because of the moon's elliptical orbit, there is a lag in the moon's rotation as it orbits the earth, meaning that we can see that small part of the moon's farside that otherwise wouldn't be seen. If the moon's orbit was a perfect circle, then there would be no rotational lag and only the same parts of the moon would be seen. This was all explained at the 2:40 point in the video, but for some reason, you appear to have either missed it completely or failed to understand what was being stated.
@@sailorman8668 he wrote about completely different reason why we can see parts of the far side of the Moon, so what? You have been harsh to him without any reason. His statement and yours are both right you know so don't play a tough guy.
@20083500HD can a total eclipse path take the same exact path and location again thousands, millions or billions of years later for example the total eclipse on 4-8-2024 can another total eclipse take that same path and location again if not why?
Conceptually this makes sense but in reality I have no idea how we were able to figure any of this out. Because also the elliptical of the earth and moon change too
11:51 I find it odd that the '50 years of solar eclipses' map / schedule missed the recent Oct 14 2023 American Eclipse. Only shows a narrow band extending over Australia for 2023.
So I have a question what happens to the Moon when the sun hits the moon on the Darkside of the moon what happens then to the moon because I know it has to be a phenomenon for the moon to get Sun even though it does. but it's gonna get like at least five minutes this time around in the solar eclipse.
You seem to have this strange idea that the far side of the moon doesn't receive much sunlight? In fact, the side of the moon that never faces earth receives slightly more sunlight on average, than the side that always faces earth.
The moon is turned to the Earth on one side because its center of mass is shifted towards the Earth by 5 km. This must be taken into account when landing and when orbiting the Moon.
Above the ecliptic? Below the ecliptic? The words "above" and "below" refer to the Earth's gravitation field. "above" means farther from the Earth, "below" means closer to the Earth. For example, Australians and Europeans have the senses of above and below reversed. This "above" and "below" the ecliptic doesn't make a sense to me at all. It's undefined to me. Meaningless. The ecliptic is a plane passing through the center of the Earth, so any vectors of the Earth gravitation field within the ecliptic are going to point in a direction within the plane, so "above" and "below" cannot be used to distinguish one half-space from the other.
From a reference point of view, it is common practice to say that the north pole is on top of the world, or in other words, above the equator. It is only from this standpoint that the words 'above' and 'below' are used. Your semantics can be left out of the discussion as being trite.
What are the chances they're the same size as the sun? No such thing as coincidence in the heavens. The earth is a stationary realm and the heavens is the ones moving, not earth. It's a perfect time piece of the creator.
Thanks so much for posting your indoctrinated rant, which by the way, hasn't helped to disprove the FACT that the earth is a spherical rotating planet. And with regards to your assertion that the moon is the same size as the sun, this is OBVIOUSLY not the case.
You can't see a truly 100% full moon during the day. You might see one briefly in twilight at sunset or sunrise, but never in the daytime. However, you might see a 95% full gibbous moon for an hour after sunrise, but 95% is not 100%.
@@stevencp yes, just tried to emphasize its 'no rotation' nature, including the One rotation per lunar month which is not a real rotation on its own but passively due to the tidal lock by the earth.
@@zack_120 You seem to be getting confused over the terms 'orbit' and 'rotation'. Your assertion that 'the moon does not 'orbit' earth' is incorrect. The moon DOES 'orbit' the earth, in the same way that satellites 'orbit' the earth. Please try and keep up zack.
Well riddle me this, Moon Man….I see the moon during the day and night. If its day in my area that means it’s night on the other half of the world. So how can I see the moon during the day (which is their night). This means the entire Earth can see the moon at the same time. If you hold a basketball up and a tennis ball and placed a micro miniature person on the side of the ball facing away from the tennis ball, there is no way for that person to see that tennis ball. Space is confusing.
Have you found the answer to your question yet? If not, then maybe you need to watch a different video, in order to see the reasonings explained in a different way? Incidentally, space isn't that 'confusing' at all - it's just that some people are a bit slow to grasp the basic principles straight away.
The moon is never visible to the entire earth at the same time. When you see the moon in the daytime, the night sky on the opposite side of earth has no moon.
What are the odds of your presumptions? Two celestial bodies appearing the exact same size also our atmosphere creates a lens effect which is why the bodies look larger near the horizon overhead.
That eclipse umbera only works when you make the sun as small as you have, if make the sun 100x bigger and it cannot work, your diagram is seriously flawed.
@@SoundONEDisco What you haven't realised yourself, is that even if the sun was made 100x bigger, you would also have to place it much further away, in order to simulate its 93 million mile distance from earth, so it's relative size would still remain the same. You see what happens when you try too hard to make yourself look clever and you only end up making yourself look foolish.
Regardless of the relative sizes of the sun, earth and moon as shown in the video, this doesn't change the fact that everything stated is the correct reason why eclipses are created. Incidentally, if you don't agree with the reasonings given in this video, what is your own alternative reasoning as to what causes eclipses?
What do you mean 'draining and boring'? Did you not appreciate the actual complexity of the moon's orbit around the earth and the explanation and animation shown in the video?
@@sailorman8668 I think a more insightful deduction would be that the Sun Moon relation is not a co incidence. Looks purposeful. Give credit to the mind behind such precision. Like Isaac Newton did.
@@peterjongsma2779 And what of the many other planets and moons in the solar system, where the size and distance relationship between them does not produce eclipses in the way they are produced between our planet and the moon? I think you are reading way too much into this for your own religious gratification. Do 'event's and 'circumstances' always need to be 'manufactured' to happen, or do they simply happen because of randomness and irregularity? Just because something happens in a certain way at a certain time, this does not mean that credit needs to be given to some outside entity.
@@sailorman8668 Well this perfect eclipse is there for us to see. I'm not on another planet. The Earth is the only one habitable . I recommend you watch The Privileged Planet. It discusses The Mediocre Fallacy that nothing is special. Things are in fact very special.
@@peterjongsma2779 And what about an annular eclipse, where the moon's angular size is smaller than the sun's, meaning that an imperfect eclipse eventuates? How shocking that some 'outside entity' would allow this 'mistake' to occur, lol.

@@SoundONEDisco What you haven't realised yourself, is that even if the sun was made 100x bigger, you would also have to place it much further away, in order to simulate its 93 million mile distance from earth, so it's relative size would still remain the same.
You see what happens when you try too hard to make yourself look clever and you only end up making yourself look foolish.
In your charts you displayed you had earth 🌎 8x bigger than the sun ... not possible... your theory is wrong...... 10:30
Regardless of the relative sizes of the sun, earth and moon as shown in the video, this doesn't change the fact that everything stated is the correct reason why eclipses are created.
Incidentally, if you don't agree with the reasonings given in this video, what is your own alternative reasoning as to what causes eclipses?
By Pure Coincidence.
Reductionist Ideology.
Draining and Boring.
What do you mean 'draining and boring'?
Did you not appreciate the actual complexity of the moon's orbit around the earth and the explanation and animation shown in the video?
@@sailorman8668
I think a more insightful deduction would be that the Sun Moon relation is not a co incidence.
Looks purposeful.
Give credit to the mind behind such precision.
Like Isaac Newton did.
@@peterjongsma2779 And what of the many other planets and moons in the solar system, where the size and distance relationship between them does not produce eclipses in the way they are produced between our planet and the moon?
I think you are reading way too much into this for your own religious gratification.
Do 'event's and 'circumstances' always need to be 'manufactured' to happen, or do they simply happen because of randomness and irregularity?
Just because something happens in a certain way at a certain time, this does not mean that credit needs to be given to some outside entity.
@@sailorman8668
Well this perfect eclipse is there for us to see.
I'm not on another planet.
The Earth is the only one habitable .
I recommend you watch
The Privileged Planet.
It discusses The Mediocre Fallacy that nothing is special.
Things are in fact very special.
@@peterjongsma2779 And what about an annular eclipse, where the moon's angular size is smaller than the sun's, meaning that an imperfect eclipse eventuates?
How shocking that some 'outside entity' would allow this 'mistake' to occur, lol.
Things are in fact very random and without specific meaning, unless you want to assign special significance to any event that 'appears' to fit your contrived narrative?
This is all preposterous because you do not factor in the Earth rotation every day night
The earth's rotation has no effect on whether there is a solar or lunar eclipse.
bs
Clearly, you didn't understand what was shown and explained in the video.
Very intellectual response, now go back watching flat brain cartoons adjusted to your IQ level instead of trying to get attention from grown up people.
