Big geometry, big skies
Space and Weather
These explainers cover the astronomical and atmospheric setups that make the sky feel cinematic and precise at the same time.
Best Starting Point
Start with Why do we have seasons?
If you want one page that gives the cleanest first pass through space and weather, this is the best place to begin before branching out.
A season lab that lets you change Earth’s tilt, latitude, and orbital position to see how sunlight and daylight shift.

If you want the Daylight moon lab angle first Why is the Moon visible during the day?A daylight-Moon lab that lets you change phase, altitude, haze, and separation from the Sun to see when the Moon stands out.
If you want the Aurora lab angle first How do auroras form?An aurora lab that lets you vary solar wind, magnetic guidance, darkness, and latitude to see when a faint glow turns into bright moving curtains.
If you want the Gravity well lab angle first What is a black hole?A black-hole lab that lets you vary mass, distance, spin, and surrounding gas to compare gravity, time slowdown, tidal stress, and visibility.
