As many of you might have experienced, we had a solar eclipse in Southern California last week. It was only a partial eclipse, but it was still exciting. We learned about it on Saturday, and planned to go see it, but then forgot on Sunday until the eclipse was in progress. We quickly ran outside and made a pinhole "camera" so that we could see the shadow of the moon over the sun. Jeff held up a piece of foil with hole punches in it. The shadow produced was an image of the sun, a crescent moon shaped light. It was a bit eerie outside. The light was different, it seemed smoky and dark, but not overcast. It was very different. We enjoyed seeing the eclipse.
