Show Highlights
Coyote has many misconceptions about our home planet and its most familiar neighbors. His confusion about the Universe makes viewers think about how the Earth, Moon and Sun work together as a system. Learn why the Sun rises and sets and the basics of fusion and solar energy. Examine the Moon’s orbit, craters, phases, and eclipses. The show also explores past and future space travel to our Moon and beyond.
