On Sunday, May 20, we got to see an annular eclipse in ABQ. It was incredible! You could sit there watching the moon move across the sun (with safety sunglasses, of course!) When the eclipse was full, you could see only a dim orange outline of the sun. My dad set up this whole "eclipse viewer thingamajig" so that we could see the eclipse, without looking directly at the sun. We wore our special safety glasses that you can ONLY see the sun out of it. They black out the rest! Dad even recorded a video of it! It was a really cool experience, and we're all glad we saw it!
