On the 20th March 2015 we had a solar eclipse.
After a fairly failed attempt at making a viewer using cardboard we blacked out
Steven’s (south facing attic) bedroom and put a pinhole in the black plastic. The
results were brilliant. We had a very clear projection on the wall. One of
Michael’s friends was off school that day so was able to join in our discussions
which was really nice. Michael has been quite interested in our solar system
lately. His understanding has reached the point where he realises there is more
out there than just the town he lives in. I love being able to be there while
he learns and has his “aha!” moments.
