This video uses models and CG to give an easy to understand explanation of what kind of phenomena a lunar eclipse is. Different from the normal waxing and waning of the Moon, the Moon enters Earth’s shadow and seems to disappear. Please enjoy scenes of this phenomenon accompanied by relaxing music. When you watch a lunar eclipse, the dynamic movements of the Earth and the Moon float in your mind. As the Mood disappears, you can catch a glimpse of the Earth’s shape. There are many ways to appreciate a lunar eclipse.
