Lunar Eclipse Essentials | NASA Planetary Sciences

Discover what happens during a lunar eclipse in this video from NASA. The orbit of the Moon around Earth causes the monthly phases of the Moon; lunar eclipses occur when the Moon passes through Earth's shadow. The video shows how the appearance of the Moon changes as it passes through Earth's penumb

The Evolution of the Kuiper Belt | NASA Planetary Sciences

Learn about Neptune's gravitational effect on dust contained in the Kuiper belt and discover how it could help astronomers look for planets around other stars. This video from NASA explores the idea that if would-be alien astronomers were looking for planets around the Sun, they could potentially de

First Spacecraft at Neptune | NASA Planetary Sciences

Learn about the Voyager 2 mission to Neptune in this video from NASA. Voyager 2 reached Neptune in 1989, 12 years after launch, and the flyby was the first and only time a spacecraft has visited Neptune. The planet appears blue because of the methane in its atmosphere. Voyager 2 discovered at least
