What makes a solar eclipse happen? Why does the Moon seem to change shape? And how does the Sun keep our planet alive? For thousands of years, people, from the Ancient Egyptians to the Greeks, have looked up with the same questions. Their stories, observations and growing scientific knowledge have helped us understand how the Sun and Moon influence life on Earth today.Blending ancient myths with facts, diagrams and modern discoveries, Brilliant Sun, Luminous Moon reveals what we really know about our nearest cosmic neighbours.Beautifully illustrated, the book works in two parts – one side is dark, but flip it over and the other is bright, meeting in the middle in a stunning eclipse.
