Not only did we see patterns with the Earth and the Sun, but we also saw patterns with the Earth and the moon! We wondered about:
1. Solar eclipses
2. Moon phases
3. Lunar eclipses
Through various investigations and modeling, we figured out so much (Mrs. Brinza didn't take any pics, whoops)! We saw how using data from NASA, that solar eclipses are much more rare than lunar eclipses. Which also led us to figure out how a lunar eclipse is different than a full moon!

Video footage and real life data from a local lunar eclipse got us wondering about the color difference we see during a lunar eclipse. The moon appears red like the colors we see at sunrise and sunset! Next steps, figure out about that color change!
