A partial solar eclipse was visible from much of North America before sundown on Thursday, Oct.23. (A partial eclipse occurs when the moon blocks a portion of the sun from view.) For those of us in the Los Angeles area, it started at about 2:15. Given this opportunity, students and staff made Pinhole Projectors. Keeping our back to the sun, students were able to see the moon take a bite out of the sun. Our Distance Learning Specialist, Doug Borcoman, is also an amateur astronomy hobbyist. He took pictures from Joshua Tree and set the phases to music. Its a short sequence. (Mr. Borcoman recommends using the full screen mode and clicking the little speaker in the upper left hand corner to get sound.) photosnack/FCEDF586AED/october-23-2014-partial-solar-eclipse-2pm-330-pm.html
