“What is a Total Solar Eclipse?” Rick begins by breaking down what this means. With the sun, earth, and moon as the primary players, Rick explains how the alignment of these celestial bodies creates what we know as a total solar eclipse.

Through engaging DIY videos and demonstrations, Rick brings the science of total solar eclipses to life.

But it’s not just about understanding the science—it’s also about experiencing the eclipse safely.
