Sun & Moon | The Thorny Road

Tonight we're looking at the Sun and the Moon.
This story comes from the Hausa people of northern Nigeria.
And it's a very simple story.
But it answers a very strange question.
Why does the Sun chase the Moon?
And the incredible part about this story? There's fantastic observational astronomy encoded within such a short tale.
So let's go back to a time when they weren't enemies.
Because once you hear what happened...
you might understand why the Sun has never stopped chasing him.
