Next Monday, there will be a solar eclipse, which will be visible to
all of the US except the far eastern states (it'll already be dark
there when the moon passes in front of the sun).

Here's a link to NASA's site with information on the eclipse, best
viewing times in your area, how to safely view the eclipse, etc...

Andrew, who's very fascinated with all that's not of the earth, is
very excited.

Shelly, has Andrew seen these Hubble Telescope images? A newly repaired
camera took some of them. Moly is like Andrew, so we spend hours looking
through our telescope. ~Nancy <A HREF="aol://4344:1723.hub00.14685516.705414804/">Click here: AOL Research & Learn: Hubble Space

Hi Nancy!

I'm not sure if he's seen them or not. The link didn't
come through quite right, I think. Do you think you
could resend it for me?

Thanks! Our local astronomy club has stargazing
tonight. It's supposed to be nice and clear, so it
should be a good night for it.

Shelly, I'm not sure if this will work. Maybe if you don't have AOL it won't?
If it doesn't, let me know and I will see if I can find it somewhere else and
send you a different link.

Right--it only works if you're on AOL.

But there are NASA sites.

ANYTIME anyone lists something here or refers to something you can't find,
you can go to www.google.com and enter several words (you don't need any
"and" or "or" stuff) and google will give you several sites to try.

from cardboard. I know I read about it somewhere and now can't find
it.

Thanks,
Tammy

All you need really is a piece of cardboard and a surface to
focus it on. Put a pin hole in the cardboard and hold it between
the surface you are looking at and the sun. It is a fairly cool
bit of optical magic. You can get as fancy as you like - if for
instance you have just ordered another wide roll of kraft paper,
the box from that makes a dandy viewer with a larger image than
the pin hole on the cardboard variety. Google "solar eclipse
viewer and you'll have your choice of any number of designs.

Thank you both (Karin, too) for the great information. We are going
to get working on preparing:)

Someone posted a site last week about an eclipse at sunset (is that the one?)
and the website showed putting a bowl of colored water (punch or soda?
Kool-aid?) and letting the sun show through it onto the tablecloth. THAT
looked really nice, and more entertaining.

Hi Tammy -

In our local paper today they have printed instructions on how to build your
own viewer.
I looked it up and the instructions are also available on the website.
Go here:

Have fun viewing!

One summer when I was about 8, my Dad showed me how to take pictures of a
solar eclipse doing things similar to this. The reflection of the colored
water on a white table cloth will produce a really cool image. Also; a piece
of cardboard with a large hole in it, taped to a window will reflect the
image onto a white cloth or paper under it. This is also photographable.
Since you can't look at the eclipse even through the lens of a camera or
telescope, reflecting the image first is the safest way to take pictures.
(There are ways to reflect the image with your telescope, I just can't find
the link right now, but am looking for it!) And more creative!!! Who else in
your neighborhood will have pictures of the eclipse in red, blue, or purple?
:o)
