Mrs. Rahn’s class has studied the sun and prepared for the Annular Eclipse. An Annular Eclipse is when the moon does not cover the entire disc of the sun so that a ring of sunlight surrounds the shadow of the moon. 🌒 They had a "front-row seat" for the Eclipse that occurred on Saturday, October 14th. Students made their own solar eclipse pinhole viewers for the eclipse and tried to view sunspots on the Sun Spotter. 🕶🌞🌑 Did you see the Annular Eclipse? #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
