The model was created in Algodoo, you can download it for free here: http://www.algodoo.com/ then you can find the model by searching for the name of this video
It is great to simulate many physics problems, you can play with gravity, wind, buoyancy, light, and more.
Why I decided to make the video
I saw a video of VOX with NASA scientist, showing a clip where the moon is spinning wayyyy faster than the earth (more angular velocity) which is very very wrong.
This is the type of thing that erodes confidence in major organizations and prompts crazy stuff like flat earth society, that we were never in the moon and much more dangerous, people not believing in climate change

(video based on the previous one, from flat earth society.. and they are right to be doubtful.. unfortunately, please go there and show them this video ;)

This is a video from NASA, what the hell? :D seems like the moon is a death star thing and is shooting a ray of dark energy

Where is the sun? What is rotating and how fast? =/
This is a FAQ from NASA:
Why do eclipse tracks move eastward even though the Earth rotates from west to east?
Because the Moon moves to the east in its orbit at about 3,400 km/hour. Earth rotates to the east at 1,670 km/hr at the equator, so the lunar shadow moves to the east at 3,400 – 1,670 = 1,730 km/hr near the equator. You cannot keep up with the shadow of the eclipse unless you traveled at Mach 1.5.

This question is weird, the counterintuitive thing is not that the earth rotates from west to east, actually if it rotated 5 times faster the shadow would be moving westward, the weird thing is that WE see the moon moving westward, so it would make sense, in a way, for the shadow to do the same, but it doesn’t. Sigh, they are correct, of course, but it’s hard to get a right answer if you ask the wrong question.
note: this video is an update on an older one that had a small mistake on the moons size
