2017 Solar Eclipse

Everyone was ready for the Solar Eclipse yesterday, including the kids.  I was with some kids yesterday and the excitement in their eyes was very enjoyable.  As a Mom I was concerned, no looking up at the sky - we did not have the special glasses, but we had these little, adorable inventions...did they really work?

I have to start this with a disclaimer - I am not a professional photographer and I did not have a professional setup. I had officially rated lenses and a camera and did the best that I could.

The total solar eclipse set to take place this Monday, August 21, is a rare, almost magical treat for anyone interested by what's up there in the sky and how it works. NASA has been preparing for the celestial event, and we wanted to share a few key pieces to help you better enjoy and understand what's about to happen.

Monday's historic solar eclipse is only days away, and you won't want to miss it, the next one to be similarly visible for us won't be for another 7 years.
