Sunday night the solar eclipse happened. We were able to see a bit of the sun being shadowed. We had to drive a few miles away from our house. Don't like living in a neighborhood during these times. But anywho. We got to see it enough to show the kids what was happening and why. We didn't have special glasses so we used some cardboard with a hole in it.
Then after the sun set we went home and watched it on the computer.
Next month Venus will be going in front of the sun. It's called the Venus Transit and it doesn't happen again for over 100 years. We have ordered the special glasses for this event. ;-) We'll even view it with the telescope.
