Solar Eclipse

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.
