Bear went out for a stroll along the Milky Way, soon Bear met up with the Sun and the two began to argue about who would move out of the other's path. The argument turned into a fight, which is represented by an eclipse of the Sun. Eventually the Bear continued along his way, but soon met up with the Moon, the Sun's sister. Again, an argument ensued about who would move over and again the argument turned into a fight. Now there was an eclipse of the Moon. After the eclipse Bear continued on his way along the Milky Way.

On August 21, 2017, a total solar eclipse will be visible along a narrow path from Salem, Oregon to Charleston, South Carolina, and all who are touched by the moon’s shadow that day will be changed.
