Today, Mercury passed in front of the sun. We found about it from Slooh. Teachers, you can sign up and get notifications from Slooh when something like this is going to happen.
Our seventh grade homeroom and science teacher Mr. Caleb had a special solar lens for his classroom telescope so that we could view it. This is about what it looked like.
Mercury is that tiny black dot in front of the huge sun. The celestial bodies God created are fascinating.
I made all of my eighth grade homeroom students go out and see it, and I believe all of the sixth and seventh graders saw it, too.
