Solar Eclipse

Solar Eclipse

By: Olivia Kitt

It was Sunday, May 20 also the day I saw my first solar eclipse and it was very cool. The eclipse started at about 5:17, and ended around 7:32. My whole family was really excited so we decided to make homemade eclipse viewers. This way we didn't have to look directly into the sun to see it,but then my grandpa had some welding glasses and we tried those and it was to bright. So we took one of the lenses and placed it over the other and it made it easier to see. But from where we were we couldn't see the moon completely cover the sun. You'd have to be in Fresno to see that. But any way when we looked at it at about 6:20 it was like a crescent moon. we also showed it to our neighbors and they thought that it was really cool too. But even though it only lasted about 2 hours it was still fun to watch.
