ForgeFX is pleased to present this showcase of interactive 3D simulations created for Prentice Hall's middle grades science program called Science Explorer.
When the moon's shadow hits Earth or Earth's shadow hits the moon, an eclipse occurs. This real-time 3D simulation of the Sun, Earth, and moon explains lunar and solar eclipses, as well as the defined moon phases. The student can manipulate the Sun, the Earth, and the moon into all of their phases as well as view the phases from a variety of different perspectives.
