Media
  • Two media pieces reflecting Pluto's change to a dwarf planet
  • Reality, Inc. Enrichment Activities
  • Updated Media

(Found in Earth Science; Earth, Sun, and Moon; Topic 6: The Lunar Cycle)
Corrections and Enhancements Made:
  • The shading on the moon was corrected so the half of the moon facing the sun is always lighter than the half facing space.
  • We added the ability to explore the model by interactively dragging the moon around the earth.
  • We added sight lines to better illustrate how the angle formed by the moon the sun and the earth affects our view of the moon's lighted side, and results in our seeing the phases of the moon.
