We are going to get to witness a solar eclipse on April 8th in North America. Here are links to show you the path of totality. NASA' site focuses on the US where as the ASC site shows where it will pass in Canada.

Total solar eclipse of April 8, 2024
The next solar eclipse that will be visible in North America won't be until 2044.
Here's a link on how to make your own pinhole projector.

If you decide to watch the eclipse...I'm sure I don't need to say this, but I will anyway...
Do NOT watch the eclipse with your naked eye.
Do NOT watch the eclipse with regular sunglasses....even with a dark tint, they will not protect your eyes.
Will you try to watch the eclipse with those special eclipse glasses? Maybe try to make your own pinhole projector? Or will you just hide and wait to see videos online when the event is done?
Do you remember or ever watched an eclipse before?
The one solar eclipse that I remember was when I was in grade school, we didn't get to watch it...with kids, I'm assuming it's a liability. The teachers closed all the drapes and we just continued with class...well sort of...we were all distracted knowing what was happening on the other side of those curtains, so there wasn't any teaching/learning going on.
