Read the story below about Chloe and Khalil, two students from another school who are also learning about the Earth, Moon, and sun. Then, answer the question below. Chloe is a photographer for the school paper. After learning about Eric Wu’s assignment for About Space magazine, she decided to try to take her own picture of a lunar eclipse for the school paper. However, on the night of the lunar eclipse, Chloe wasn’t feeling well, so her parents wouldn’t let her go outside with her camera.

The next day at school, Chloe was feeling disappointed, so her friend Khalil tried to cheer her up. “Don’t worry,” he said. “Remember, we learned that the Moon moves in the same circle around Earth each month. That means you can photograph a lunar eclipse when Earth is in between the sun and the Moon again next month.”

“Maybe, but maybe not,” Chloe said. “A lunar eclipse happens sometimes when Earth is in between the sun and the Moon, but not always. It could be a long time before I have another opportunity to take a picture of a lunar eclipse.”
