Dig into how the Sun and Moon are responsible for the tides on Earth, and what this force looks like on other celestial bodies. -- In the 17th century, Isaac Newton offered the first gravitational explanation of tides. As he correctly identified, tides are choreographed by the motions of celestial objects, and Earth’s tides in particular are mostly driven by the Moon. But the precise nature of this relationship is actually quite nuanced. Elise Cutts explains how the Sun and Moon are responsible for the tides. Lesson by Elise Cutts, directed by Rémi Cans, Atypicalist.

Dig into the Maya myth of the moon goddess, Ix Chel, and follow her story as she falls in— and out of— love with the sun god. -- The sun god was in love with the moon goddess, Ix Chel. But the goddess’ grandfather was very possessive, and would not let the sun god anywhere near his beloved granddaughter. Desperate to be together, they escaped and were ready to light up the sky with their powerful rays. Unfortunately, their love story doesn’t end happily ever after. Cynthia Fay Davis details the Maya myth of Ix Chel. Lesson by Cynthia Fay Davis, directed by The Animation Project.
