Dear super-galactic travellers,
As you may know, yesterday there was an eclipse! I of course did not plan ahead, and so on the day of I Blue Peter'ed an eclipse viewer together using a toilet roll tube, paper, and some foil...
It worked pretty well,
but we also gave the colander trick a try too!
You could also see it in the shadows
And when I took a very quick photo, you could see the reflection of it too.
I also definitely, definitely didn't have an extremely quick glance at it at any point to see where the sun was in the sky so I knew where best to point my viewer, because that would have been a very stupid thing for me to do...ahem...
Although it wasn't a full on eclipse it was still fun to watch, and while it didn't get particularly dark it still felt kinda eerie when it got to its most eclipsey-ist. Maybe next time whenever that is I'll be a bit more organised and buy some special glasses in advance, but probably not 🌘
