[QUOTE="pickup, post: 3004613"] When I was in 6th grade, there was an eclipse and the "science" teacher told us to not look at it about a week before but he didnt tell us why. The total eclipse was going to occur during our lunch hour for which we were allowed to go outside. My friends and I had every intention to look right at the sun but thankfully it was totally cloudy otherwise a lot of kids would have had some eye damage. I remember another total eclipse of the sun in either 94 or 95. I was a little smarter then and had welder's glass (has to be a certain grade or greater) to view the eclipse . I parked on the edge of a forest and viewed it for about 9 minutes . The birds of the forest got very quiet until the sun was winning the battle and I heard the same bird song that I would hear when the sun rises. Beautiful solar eclipse and it was the last one that I could "participate" in. I won't enjoy a total eclipse in New Jersey this time around but I should still get a good partial one and the maximum totality will coincide with my lunch hour. I still have the welder's glass and plan on using it. [/QUOTE]
