Yesterday was the annular solar eclipse. Thanks to my sister-in-law Emily, we had cool solar eclipse glasses that made the eclipse look like this:
Our area was perfect for viewing the eclipse! We saw a perfect ring in the sky! FYI: Annular comes from a latin word meaning "little ring." I kept looking through the glasses and thinking, "That's so cool!" The kids thought it was awesome too. It was dim outside even though the sun was high in the sky. The eclipse started around 6:30 p.m. and peaked around 7:45 p.m. We watched it until the moon had moved off again. I thought it would mainly impress the kids but I found myself really excited too! I guess you're never too old to think celestial events are cool.
