There was a lot of hype about the solar eclipse that was going to sweep across the United States and have places with total solar eclipse viewing. It was talked about everyhwhere...and we should have gone to see it where it was a total eclipse (about 4 hours each way), but we did watch it from home. It was fun to see the way the moon got in between the earth and sun and the shadows of crescent suns. It was about 92% coverage here in Draper, but really it seemed to just get dim and as if it were cloudy, but there wasn't a cloud in the sky.
We didn't even have approved glasses to wear, so we thought we could wear the welding helmet, but even that didn't seem to be working. So we were able to make a contraption with a shoe box that allowed us to see the image in the box of the crescent. It was interesting!!
