Does anyone know a map that shows the width of the partial path and percentage eclipsed?
I smoked glass absolutely black for the transit of Mercury. All you could see was a dim circle with a black dot moving across.
We didn’t look at it as long as you could look at an eclipse. But no harm done.
And the effects of the eclipse are more than just the sun. It’s the crescent glints in the tree shadows, the darkness, the birds
My friend told me that during an eclipse, her parents made all.ten children stay inside with the shades drawn.
That was probably the one I had no luck with cardboard and a pinhole.
I did the cardboard box and pinhole one time for an annular eclipse and it worked out wonderfully well.
