The Earth is a rocky sphere that is nearly 25,000 miles in circumference, with 71% being water and 29% land, of which about half is uninhabited due to temperature or water scarcity. That leaves 14.5% available for human viewing of a Total Eclipse, which only occurs every 1-3 years. Taking into account that the Earth spins once around its axis in 24 hours, that puts its rotational speed around 1,000 MPH, which gives only a few seconds to nearly 8 minutes of totality; a very rare occurrence, indeed. Seeing as how the moon was tidally locked into Earth’s rotation about 100 million years after its formation, we only see about 59% of the moon’s surface during its lunar libration. This also means that during a total lunar eclipse, the 50% that is facing us during this event is in total shade. The “dark side of the moon” is fully illuminated and warmed by the sun, which puts Earth’s moon’s surface temperature around -250°F. Here’s where knowledge of science comes in handy. As kids, we learned that a magnifying lens concentrates energy and that heat and light are forms of energy. So when you started leaves on fire (or ants) with a magnifying glass, the same principles apply. Merely focus your lens from the moon under a total eclipse and concentrate that -250°F cold onto an ant farm. They will freeze solid in seconds. IT’S SCIENCE! If you think caviar is expensive, try a spoonful of chocolate covered, frozen, eclipse ants for a high-end treat. Be careful you don’t get duped by unscrupulous vendors of cryogenically frozen ants. There is a significant difference in taste. That is why you pay so much more for the real treat in eating, that you can’t keep repeating, unless you are a billionaire.
