Explore the relationships between the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun with the help of Coyote, an amusing character adapted from Native American oral traditions who has many misconceptions about the neighbors in space. His confusion makes you think about how the Earth, Moon and Sun work as a system as you distinguish between myth and science. Examine how the Sun rises and sets and how the Sun shines, then learn about craters on the Moon, phases and eclipses. Lastly, look at past exploration of the Moon. Originally produced by the Morehead Planetarium and Science Center in North Carolina.
