Solar Eclipse

Today's solar eclipse was a total eclipse visible within a band across the entire contiguous United States. 

Prior to today, no solar eclipse had been visible across the entire contiguous United States since June 8, 1918; not since the February 1979 eclipse had a total eclipse been visible from anywhere in the mainland United States!

We joined our church homeschool friends for an eclipse party.  We all had our glasses and viewing boxes to check it out.  No eclipse party would be complete without snacks, so we even had mini-eclipses made from Banana Moon Pies and thin Oreos! 

In the coolness of the afternoon with the sun partially covered the kids played a little ball in the park. 

And when I extinguish you, I will cover the heavens and darken their stars; 

I will cover the sun with a cloud And the moon will not give its light.  Ezekiel 32:7
