Across
  1. 2. lunar phase where the moon is completely dark from our perspective
  2. 4. The band where the sun is totally eclipsed, this portion is never wider than 275km
  3. 6. the point at which both objects orbit around their common center of mass
  4. 9. one 360 degree spin on its axis
  5. 12. lunar phase where we start to see the illuminated part of the moon and it is banana shaped
  6. 13. What happens when the moon's shadow falls on Earth
  7. 15. lunar phase in which the moon appears circular and completely lighted
  8. 16. Movement caused by the moon's gravity pulling Earth slightly out of orbit
Down
  1. 1. The wider band where only a portion of the sun is eclipsed
  2. 3. Movement completed once every 26,000 years in which Earth's rotational axis circles like wobbling top
  3. 5. the solar atmosphere which is normally invisible because of the sun's brilliance
  4. 7. the act of the moon becoming more full and the visible portion grows
  5. 8. lunar phase in which the moon is over half-full and only a small area remains dark
  6. 10. the act of the moon becoming less full and the visible portion shrinks
  7. 11. one full orbit around the sun
  8. 14. What happens when the Earth's shadow falls on the moon
