I talked with the class today about this unique event that will happen around sunset our time. We watched a short video on the NASA website that explained what would happen. We were astounding at how small a planet, something we always picture as being so HUGE, looked compared to the sun. It really puts the sheer magnitude of the sun's size into perspective when you see this tiny black dot passing in front of it. We talked about how it reminded us of Horton and his speck. Makes you think....
Here is a link to NASA's website if you want to view this historic event with their special equipment. Unfortunately the weather here is not going to be ideal for viewing it in person. Thanks to Mr. Kerr for sharing information with us!
