%. One half of our earth is always
illuminated by sunlight, but from the
side of the earth which is opposite the
sun there is a great shadow, $4,000
miles long always, stretching out into
space This shadow is in the form Of
a cone whose base is as large as the
earth and whose apex points directly
away from the sun.
The moon in its monthly journey
around the earth usually passes either
above or below this shadow, but some
times 1T moves directly through il. The
moon is then darkcncd and an eclipse
of the moon takes place.
