    The videos can be used across disciplines and within contained classrooms. This includes all K-12 settings (not just science classrooms). The videos can be used in science classrooms to promote science inquiry around eclipses, occultations, and transits, three astronomical phenomena involving alignments and shadows.

    Sometimes the partners in an eclipse-like dance do not yield the full-coverage effect of the upcoming solar eclipse or the MU69 occultation. In an event called a transit, the nearer object blocks very little of a star that lies beyond. Instead, you may see a small dark spot crossing the stellar face, as in the 2012 transit of Venus across the Sun.
  4. May 16, 2023The eight sets of problems in this section of the Year of the Solar System guide help students understand the difference between transits, eclipses and occultations. Students use mathematical concepts such as scale drawings, tangents, proportions, geometry, fractions and modeling to understand these terms in space science.

    He has chased 12 total solar eclipses, three annular eclipses and three planetary transits (plus two from home). Dr. Westfall currently observes lunar eclipses, asteroid occultations of stars, and Jupiter satellite eclipses from his backyard in the relatively clear skies of Antioch, his favorite telescopesbeing a C14 and a C5.

    Now I consider non-syzygetic transits, and henceforth for simplicity largely use the word 'transits' to refer also to eclipses and occultations. 1. In particular, my exploration seeks to establish what formulae can be derived from knowledge of only the radii and spatial locations of the three bodies involved in the transit.
