The path of totality is the track where the moon blocks the sun's light from a certain area on the earth. In order for a partial solar eclipse to occur, where you live must partially be in the path of totality.]]> 2018-11-12 23:48:42 UTC https://padlet.com/carter_breslin/af6s3c2wovxy/wish/303516245 carter_breslin https://padlet.com/carter_breslin/af6s3c2wovxy/wish/303525016 2018-11-13 00:40:47 UTC https://padlet.com/carter_breslin/af6s3c2wovxy/wish/303525016 carter_breslin https://padlet.com/carter_breslin/af6s3c2wovxy/wish/303899463 This diagram represents the events that must occur in order for a solar eclipse to happen. It shows that when the sun's rays hit the moon, there is a shadow cast. This shadow then covers up (partially or totally) a path across the earth. Depending on where you live you can see either a total solar eclipse, a partial solar eclipse, or no (nacho) eclipse. The people that see a partial eclipse live in the area where the moon's penumbra is located. The people in the moon's umbra experience a total solar eclipse.]]> 2018-11-13 17:32:51 UTC https://padlet.com/carter_breslin/af6s3c2wovxy/wish/303899463 carter_breslin https://padlet.com/carter_breslin/af6s3c2wovxy/wish/303904680 I chose this article because it describes the characteristics of the path of totality. It also describes the many different ways to see a solar eclipse without injuring your eyes. Another interesting descriptionin the article is the many ways to capture data about this phenomenon.]]> 2018-11-13 17:39:40 UTC https://padlet.com/carter_breslin/af6s3c2wovxy/wish/303904680 carter_breslin https://padlet.com/carter_breslin/af6s3c2wovxy/wish/303907021 The area where the blue part of the moon's overall umbra is where the path of totality is located.]]> 2018-11-13 17:42:54 UTC https://padlet.com/carter_breslin/af6s3c2wovxy/wish/303907021 carter_breslin https://padlet.com/carter_breslin/af6s3c2wovxy/wish/304622721 Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpH9Lv8QYjc
