Please note: The science of the Earth and Moon's orbits is different from how we humans experience them. For instance, the Sun never sleeps, but we can't see it when it is lighting the other side of the world. Yet, the Sun continues to affect us. The darkness it leaves behind triggers our bodies to get sleepy. This book tells that story.
