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.
Explainers
Pages in Space and Weather
Eclipses, auroras, black holes, seasons, and orbital motion explaining the drama overhead.
A season lab that lets you change Earth’s tilt, latitude, and orbital position to see how sunlight and daylight shift.
Space and Weather 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.
Space and Weather 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.
Space and Weather 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.
Space and Weather How does a solar eclipse work?An eclipse lab that lets you tune the alignment, the Moon's apparent size, and your position in the shadow path to see when the sky really goes dark.
Space and Weather Why does the wind blow?A wind lab that lets you strengthen pressure gradients, add friction, and see why moving air rarely goes in a perfectly straight line.
Space and Weather Why do planets orbit the Sun?An orbit lab that lets you change solar gravity, sideways speed, distance, and orbital nudges to compare stable paths with inward falls and escape-leaning trajectories.
