안녕하세요~ 오랜만이에요 ^^ 글 더 자주 올리려고 했는데... 벌써 내일 한국에 가는 거예요.....

한국에서 '미국 생활' 글을 소급해서 올려야겠다 ^^;

아무튼! 오늘 아침에 미국에서 일식이 있었어요. 그래서 글 좀 쓰고 싶었어요~

 

Today there was a solar eclipse!

As you can see, the path of the total eclipse didn't cross Seattle (Seattle is to the north of it). But we could still see a partial eclipse from my house.

My family didn't buy eclipse glasses, so we couldn't look at it directly. But we made a "pinhole camera" which projects the shadow of the eclipse onto a piece of paper so you can see it.



We used a piece of cardboard with foil in the middle, then poked a pin-sized hole into the foil.



Ta-dah~

Then we held it up so the shadow would show on another piece of paper. Because it's so small, the picture doesn't show it well ㅠㅠ

The pinhole camera technique actually works with anything that creates a small circle for light to come through. So we realized that the eclipse was showing through the shadows from our hanging flower basket, too!



The little moon shapes are shadows of the eclipse. Pretty cool, right? ^^



오예~



Even Isabell came outside! She's not looking at the sun, she's just closing her eyes as she meows ^^



The eclipse also created a solar flare that you could see in pictures.

 

It didn't get completely dark here, but it looked like it was dusk. Lots of birds started chirping, and we saw some crows flying back to their nest. Many animals get confused by solar eclipses, but Isabell and Dylan didn't pay any attention to it. They just wanted to know why we were all standing around outside taking photos ^^;

 

That's it for now. See you soon! 규문 친구들 빨리 보고싶어요 ^^
