Solar Eclipse

Paragraph 1
A solar eclipse can be a spectacular event to witness. Whether it is a partial or a total eclipse or not, seeing the shadow of the Moon cover some or all of the Sun's surface in the middle of the day can be quite dramatic! Eclipses happen when the Moon comes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking some of the Sun's light. If you look online, you can find some impressive eclipse photos taken by professional and amateur photographers. On average, solar eclipses happen twice a year. Some of these photos have been touched up, or improved, using computer software, but others are completely real.

Paragraph 2
When the time gets closer, you will need to prepare for viewing a solar eclipse! A solar eclipse can be visible in different parts of the world; however, you have to take some safety measures when viewing one. Fortunately, there are a number of perfectly safe ways to view such an amazing event. You cannot simply look up at the sun, or you will ruin your eyes in a matter of moments. If the idea of watching a solar eclipse appeals to you, check various astronomy Web sites to find out when the next one will be occurring.

Paragraph 3

A special material makes them safe for viewing the Sun. One safe way to view eclipses is with "eclipse glasses." The frames of the glasses are made of cardboard, and the lenses are made of special material that blocks out all but a tiny bit of light. These are available by mail order from telescope shops and are also sold by science museums. Eclipse glasses do not cost more than a dollar or two a pair. However, make sure to order them at least a month ahead of time because they tend to sell out in the days before the event.

Paragraph 4
Another safe way to view the solar eclipse is to make a viewer yourself! The easiest kind is a pinhole viewer. You can try this out on any sunny day. Just get two pieces of white cardboard, about the size of a sheet of printer paper. Make a tiny pinhole in the center of one piece. Then hold it in the sunlight so the sun shines through the hole, and hold the other piece of board underneath. After a few attempts, you should be able to line up the Sun's image so it projects onto the second piece of white board. If you move the cardboard with the pinhole farther away from the bottom cardboard, the image will be bigger. Now, you can view a solar eclipse easily, and protect your precious eyesight!
