This book looks at solar and lunar eclipses, providing background information about the Sun, the Moon and our planet. The book covers what an eclipse is, what eclipses can look like, how they happen, the effects on wildlife, what people thought of eclipses in the past, how they are studied today, and about eclipses on other planets. A fun activity is provided along with advice on viewing eclipses. Beautiful photographs and simple text help to engage readers and aid their understanding.
"Hunter will turn plenty of readers into enthusiastic sky watchers with these introductions to some of the heavens’ more easily observed phenomena. Leaving the brightly colored sky and space photos and /or illustrations on every page to supply the drama–which they do, in abundance–he offers particularly clear, matter-of-fact descriptions of what stars and comets are made of, what causes both solar and lunar eclipses and auroras, and, in brief, what our ancestors thought of these wonders." - School Library Journal
