NEW VIDEO about why Eclipses Travel TOWARDS the EAST?
If you're close enough, go try to see the American eclipse on April 8!
Thanks as always for your support.

I'm not understanding the statement at 2:13 -- I think I get what you are trying to show but I believe what's stated is in conflict with Kepler's IIId law.
Yeah, I have a small footnote at 2:17 acknowledging that
Would love to have 'orbit' when referring to the bulk motion of the Moon and to reserve 'rotation' for 'spin'
I know in this case it is true they are the same by tidal locking but for the more general case...
Is the picture at 3:25 a real video (from a satellite or something)? If not, do we have a video of an eclipse from space?
I made it custom for the video (it's computer visual effects) so I could have the earth rotating in it, but it's inspired by this real satellite view: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:July_2,_2019_Total_Solar_Eclipse_from_GOES-East.gif
Why does the page go blank / white for a couple seconds at ~1:43?
Gah!! An editing glitch that wasn't there when I checked but then I had to reupload for some other tiny change. :/
It's almost like planetary motions are confusing sometimes
