Did you know that we’ve only started to understand how gravity works in the last 300 years or so? That’s not such a long time for a force that gave us the moon and tides, created our orbit around the Sun, and holds galaxies together. Fortunately, even though gravity’s effects are cosmic, it’s also easy to explore right here on Earth. We’ve gathered three of our favorite quick science tricks for exploring gravity with kids of all ages — and for curious grownups, too!

People have been fascinated by eclipses for at least 5,000 years — and they haven't gotten old yet! Eclipses occur when the Moon passes directly between the Sun and Earth. This blocks the Sun's light, casting a moon shadow on the surface of Earth below. Very rarely, the Sun and the Moon line up perfectly, creating an amazing astronomical show for anyone standing in the path of the Moon's shadow: a total solar eclipse.
