Annular Solar Eclipse


After learning about eclipses, both solar and lunar, students were given a pair of solar glasses to borrow of the weekend to view the annular solar eclipse.  This is what they had to say upon returning to class on Monday:

-"The solar eclipse looked like a crescent sun. It was so awesome."- Collin
-"I really enjoyed the solar eclipse. It gives you a chance to see what happens when the sun and the moon align."- Jakob
-"What I enjoyed about the eclipse was when I started seeing the glowing ring around the moon."-unknown
-"I learned that an annular eclipse doesn't happen a lot." -Mason
-"It was cool how it happens. I liked getting to see the ring of fire!"- Unknown
-"When the moon covered 90% of the sun, it didn't effect it. It looked like a normal day."- RJ
-"It looked like a black spot with a ring around it."-Brisa
-"It looked like you were in space looking at the sun"- Keziah
-"Until now, I didn't know there were three types of solar eclipses: annular, total, and partial." -Claire
-"At the end of the eclipse, it looked like a mouse ate a little bit of the sun!"- Regan
