Prompt: April 8, 2024 was the eclipse. Did you get to see it in your area? How did it make you feel? Write about this in your Blog entry today.


My family and I saw the solar eclipse. My daughter had ordered special glasses to use so we could look and not damage our eyes. The dark part where the moon began to cover the sun was already in sight. The eclipse's trajectory put it barely in our town, meaning it didn't completely cover the sun. My 12-year-old grandson thought it was "good." he said as is speaking, as I suspect he will as a teenager in less than three months.

I was thrilled. The last time we took the time to prepare and watch it was when I was 10. My father had a telescope. He fixed it so the eclipse showed up on a white poster board. It fascinated me then as it did now.
