THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

The digestive system allows our body to get the nutrients it needs. Digestion begins in the mouth. The food then travels down the oesophagus and into the stomach. The small intestine separates the nutrients from the waste. The nutrients pass to the circulatory system and travel to all the body cells. The waste passes to the large intestine and leaves the body through the anus.

Rare Supermoon Lunar Eclipse

Rare Supermoon

Lunar Eclipse
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes through the shadow of the Earth. During this type of eclipse the Moon appears to be a reddish color. This type of eclipse can only occur during a full moon. During ancient times, an eclipse was scary because people used the Moon and Sun to tell time and seasons. When the Moon’s appearance made a drastic change, people really did not know what to expect.

Usually eclipses alternate from solar to lunar.
Three times a year is the maximum time a lunar eclipse usually occurs.
There are typically more solar eclipses than lunar eclipses per year.

During a partial lunar eclipse only a portion of the Moon passes through the Earth’s shadow.
A full lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes directly in front of a full moon.
