Total Eclipse of the . . .

When I heard from Lloyd that we were going to be in prime viewing for an annual eclipse in northern CA.  I was so geeked.  I jumped online and looked up directions for a pinhole projector and got all excited.  Then I learned that it was going to occur during church on Sunday night.  Well, I'm afraid that I skipped church tonight to experience this amazing phenomenon.  (The kids were excited but Mom was over the top;-))

Our pinhole projector: the longer it is the larger the image it projects.

Can you see the shadow start to eat into the image of the sun?

Progress. . .

All the amateur astronomers!

Almost there. . .

Keep coming. . .

Crazy shadows!!!
