This website alike many others targets people who want to know what causes Eclipses. Although the website provides good information I would not necessarily reccomend it for people who want to know about the actual facts and history of eclipses because it is not up -to- date. However, what I really enjoyed about this website is that it provides great visual examples to help explain the cause of an eclipse. So this would be a good website for visual learners to take a look at. The author of this website is Mike Hartrao and it was last up dated on October 23, 2002.
