Day 7: Understanding our place in the constellations

On Friday, we took a look at the idea of looking at one planet through the lens of another.  We also compared Copernican theory to Epicycles.   Today we'll try again, without the extensive vocabulary and the wordy explanations.


QUESTIONS TO ANSWER
