What an interesting start to April!  Snow storms and a Total eclipse! People are calling it The Great American Eclipse.  It is interesting to think the sun is 400 times bigger than the moon (about 64 million moons would make up the volume of the sun)! But with this perfect alignment, it appears to be the same size! It is also interesting to think people have been observing eclipses since the dawn of time and in the beginning years people thought it was a bad omen, now people are flocking to see these. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate and allow for this image above to happen. It is fascinating to think scientists and astronomers can gather important information from this to learn more about the sun! 

If you want to make safer glasses HERE is a fun activity we were unable to get to. Happy viewing!
