Eclipsing Moon

It is human nature if we expect something to happen. Sometimes we feel powerless against external factors that are too dominant. But we do not want to give up. Our last effort is to pray. Request hopefully on something that we think over everything. The story of the inhabitants of the same MADANG with us. Only we do not know whether the actions we pray only fantasy. We must be more advanced to know. But we've developed so far, following the spirit of Abraham, by removing the moon and the sun of our prayer focus to something intangible and can not be understood. Moreover, more advanced than this?

In elementary school we have in teaching that the moon is unusual heavenly bodies. He is the only natural satellite of the earth. We know that the human imagination to see the grandmother knitting nets into the moon. Geographical pattern of the surface of the moon, like a cloud, making our imagination. When switched his position if the earth to the moon, we still also be imagining something from continental distribution patterns and clouds. Perhaps we imagine a butterfly, a virgin or a caterpillar. We know much of the scientific efforts of scientists unravel the mysteries of the moon. They do not give up on the myth.

The discovery that the moon is the celestial bodies around the earth, gave an explanation of another phenomenon full of myth, solar eclipse. At the time we are given the primary explanation of the moon phases. And in the picture, we look at the full moon, the position of the moon lies between the earth and the sun. Similarly, during a lunar eclipse. I'm confused why can the same when the full moon eclipse and clearly different. Lunar eclipse happens when the full moon. But this explanation is not in elementary school science books. Then later we know that the moon's orbit is not exactly parallel to the earth's orbit. He tilted. At this side, the shadow of the earth is almost never appropriate to cover the moon. Sometimes above, sometimes below. Only when he was fit to cover the moon, the lunar eclipse occurs.
