Got eclipse?

Take a look at this...today we saw an eclipse, and we didn't even burn our retinas! Mom noticed that the light outside was getting kind of weird and we remembered that there was supposed to be an annular eclipse this weekend.

We are in the partial eclipse zone but the effect was still pretty cool...the light outside dimmed, the temperature dropped, and we cooked up our EclipseCam to have a look.

It's easy...we used two sheets of paper, one with a small hole and the other as the projection screen.  That way we could see the shape of the sun without looking at it directly.

Too bad S missed out...she was passed out on the couch taking a nap.
