All About A Solar Eclipse Featured Image

All About A Solar Eclipse? One of the things that jump-started my young college career was the simple fact that I loved space. I wanted to take an Astronomy class more than anything, and finally got to when I was in 5th grade. I learned about all sorts of great things and eclipses were just one small thing we learned about.

Here is a great video of a solar eclipse: I have a worksheet that shows it, in … [Read more...]
