Last night there was a solar eclipse and our area was a prime viewing spot for this.
We started by watching this video and made our own home-made viewer.
Here we are testing the viewer about an hour before the eclipse.
Enjoying some popsicles with the neighbors as we wait.
It's time! And...the sun went behind the trees before we could really see anything. I think I may have seen a slight sliver "on" the sun, but it wasn't the dramatic viewing I had imagined. But, Aaron was introduced to the idea and we had a great time in the beautiful Texas weather with our family and neighbors! After we went inside we got our SkyMap app open on our phone and observed how the moon was indeed in front of the sun...just below the horizon.
This is what I was hoping to see...we'll mark our calendars for April 8, 2024 for the next solar eclipse!
