Cement Eclipses : Small Interventions in the Big City
Isaac Cordal ...is a sculpture artist from London. His sculptures take the form of little people sculpted from concrete in 'real' situations.Cordal manages to capture a lot of emotion in his vignettes, in spite of their lack of detail or colour.He is sympathetic toward his little people and we empathise with their situations, their leisure time, their waiting for buses and their more tragic moments such as accidental death, suicide or family funerals.His sculptures can be found in gutters, on top of buildings and bus shelters - in many unusual and unlikely places in the capital.This book is the first time his images have been shown in together in one book dedicated to his work, many images never seen before.Cordal's concrete sculptures are like little magical gifts to the public that only a few lucky people will see and love but so many more will have missed.Left to their own devices throughout London, what really makes these pieces magical is their placement.They bring new meaning to little corners of the urban environment.They express something vulnerable but deeply engaging.

Solar Eclipses 2024-2027 : Where and When to Experience Totality
Seeing a total solar eclipse ('totality' - when the sun is fully obscured by the moon) is a bucket-list event, generating a sense of wonder and even an 'end-of-the-world' sensation.New from Bradt, Solar Eclipses 2024-2027 is the only guide to cover the world's next three total solar eclipses, arguably Nature's most incredible spectacle.Written by an eclipse expert, this guide offers potential eclipse-tourists and eclipse-chasers alike everything they need to understand, prepare for and travel to each eclipse. Each eclipse will be remarkable in its own right. The 2024 totality will be visible in 15 US states, six Canadian provinces and parts of Mexico.The events offer US residents a second bite at the cherry, after many people regretted not travelling a short distance into the 2017 eclipse zone.The 2026 event is Europe's first totality since 1999 and will be visible in Greenland, Iceland and Spain.The 2027 eclipse (visible from Spain, Gibraltar, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Somalia) will be the longest until 2168.Chapters explain the climatology of each eclipse track, chart the sky during totality, and advise precisely where and when to see it - with detailed information on duration, altitude and timings for various locations.Such travel advice is critical, because the best eclipse-viewing locations tend to be in relatively remote places that either require careful planning or advance booking on specialist tours, which have limited capacity. A complementary chapter helps the beginner understand eclipse science, the types of solar eclipse and great historical eclipses.Another details other minor eclipses during 2024-2027 plus the annular eclipses due in 2023 and 2028, when the moon obscures all but the outer ring of the sun.Another chapter provides advice on how to prepare for and photograph solar eclipses.Throw in a schedule of eclipses through to 2050, and listings for tour operators specialising in eclipse tourism and the result is the most detailed eclipse guide around - perfect for everyone from beginners to experts via anyone who wants an excuse to travel somewhere different.

Why are there more solar eclipses than lunar eclipses?
There are more solar eclipses than lunar eclipses because the Earth's shadow is larger than the Moon's shadow. This means that during a solar eclipse, the Moon can pass through the Earth's shadow more frequently than the Earth can pass through the Moon's shadow during a lunar eclipse. Additionally, the Moon's orbit is tilted relative to the Earth's orbit around the Sun, making it more likely for the alignment to occur for a solar eclipse.
-
Why are total lunar eclipses more frequent than solar eclipses?
Total lunar eclipses are more frequent than solar eclipses because the Earth's shadow is larger than the Moon's shadow. This means that the Earth can cast its shadow on the Moon more often than the Moon can cast its shadow on the Earth. Additionally, a total lunar eclipse can be seen from anywhere on the nighttime side of the Earth, while a total solar eclipse can only be seen from a small area on the Earth's surface. This makes total lunar eclipses more accessible and visible to a larger portion of the Earth's population.

I have a question about solar eclipses and lunar eclipses in physics.
Solar eclipses occur when the moon passes between the sun and the earth, blocking the sunlight and casting a shadow on the earth. Lunar eclipses, on the other hand, occur when the earth passes between the sun and the moon, causing the earth's shadow to fall on the moon. Both types of eclipses are important phenomena in physics as they provide opportunities to study the interactions between the sun, moon, and earth, and also to test and validate theories of celestial mechanics and optics. Additionally, they offer valuable insights into the behavior of light and the dynamics of celestial bodies.

What are lunar and solar eclipses?
Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. This can only happen during a full moon. Solar eclipses, on the other hand, occur when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking the Sun's light and casting a shadow on the Earth. Solar eclipses can only occur during a new moon. Both types of eclipses are rare and can be either partial or total, depending on the alignment of the Sun, Earth, and Moon.

Why are there not solar eclipses every month?
Solar eclipses do not occur every month because the moon's orbit around the Earth is tilted relative to the Earth's orbit around the sun. This means that most of the time, the moon's shadow misses the Earth, resulting in no eclipse. Additionally, the moon's orbit is not a perfect circle, so its distance from the Earth varies, making it less likely for the moon to align perfectly with the sun and Earth to create an eclipse. As a result, solar eclipses are relatively rare events that occur only a few times a year.
-
Why are there not lunar eclipses every month?
Lunar eclipses do not occur every month because the Moon's orbit is tilted about 5 degrees relative to Earth's orbit around the Sun. This means that most of the time, the Moon passes above or below the Earth's shadow, resulting in no eclipse. Additionally, the Moon's orbit is elliptical, so it is sometimes closer or farther from Earth, affecting the alignment for an eclipse to occur. As a result, lunar eclipses occur on average about twice a year.
-
What are the similarities between lunar and solar eclipses?
Both lunar and solar eclipses occur when the Earth, Moon, and Sun align in a specific way. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. During a solar eclipse, the Moon comes between the Earth and the Sun, casting a shadow on the Earth. Both types of eclipses can only occur during specific alignments of the Earth, Moon, and Sun, and they are both relatively rare events. Additionally, both types of eclipses can be observed from different parts of the Earth, depending on the alignment of the celestial bodies.

Is my text about the physics of solar and lunar eclipses correct?
Based on the information provided, it is difficult to determine the accuracy of your text about the physics of solar and lunar eclipses. However, it is important to ensure that the information is based on scientific principles and accurate observations. Solar eclipses occur when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth, casting a shadow on the Earth's surface, while lunar eclipses occur when the Earth comes between the sun and the moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the moon. It is important to verify the information with reliable sources to ensure its accuracy.
