In this episode, Chris and Mike are talking about solar and lunar eclipses: how they work, why they are infrequent, and why you should not look directly at the sun! This episode is all in preparation for the great solar eclipse taking place on August 21, 2017 in which most of North America will be able to see something.

Partial solar eclipses are amazing events. However, if you have the means to experience totality, you should take advantage of it. Anyone I have ever talked to who has experienced it became passionate about seeing another one.
