This was by far the best thing today! There was an almost total eclipse of the sun! I walked up to the Carter Observatory and bought a pair of solar viewing glasses to watch. It was so great! The moon moved across the sun and the sun just became a slim crescent in the sky. There were so many people watching it was brilliant.
You could really feel how cold it got when the moon
covered the sun. A lady had a colander and when the sun went through the holes in it, it cast lots of crescent shapes - you really could see the moon blocking the sun! (I didn't get good pictures of the eclipse. :( ) Australia got to see a full eclipse which was so cool looking.
I can't believe I got to see one - I'm so happy!
