The Partial Eclipse

 

 

This morning at 9.18am we were lucky enough to witness a partial solar eclipse. A.B had a very cool way that we were able to watch the moon pass through the path of the sun's rays. It was really exciting to see the world get dull. We all went outside for a photo when it was at its peak (87%) at 10.28am and continued to watch the moon's progress throughout the morning. It will be a long time until the next eclipse so we feel very lucky to have witnessed this one.

It is quite dull with the sun being covered by the moon. A.B

The sun is shaped like the moon  but it's orange. J.V

The sun is so small but it is actually huge. O.S

I think is is very interesting and wierd how it is shaped like the moon even though it is the sun. K.R

It looks like the moon is out in the day and it is quite wierd. V.V

The sun looks like a cookie being eaten and is red. S.V


It feels like we are working in the evening. L.C
