Solar Eclipse on Sunday, May 20--Info. and Ideas

It will be Sunday afternoon/early evening. It will be partial for most of the U.S. and not at all for the East Coast.  Eastern Asia and the West Coast will be prime. Every since we read Every Soul a Star in the National Homeschool Book Award Club, we have really been interested in solar eclipses.


Space.com has a lot of great articles about it. Here are a few:
