Explore what happens in your body when you don’t acclimate to higher altitudes and the dangers of altitude sickness.--If you teleported from sea level to the top of Mount Everest, things would go bad fast.

Explore the science of what causes total solar eclipses, and find out how civilizations throughout history reacted to them.--How can the shadow of the tiny moon eclipse the sight of the gargantuan sun? By sheer coincidence, the disc of the sun is 400x larger than the disc of the moon, but it's 390x farther from Earth -- which means that when they align just right, the moon blocks all but the sun's glowing corona.
