I hope to have my kids manage a few experiments during totality
Honestly, don't ruin it for them. It was a spiritual experience for me and I can't imagine someone pressuring me to do something during it.
First time something had genuinely taken my breath away. Felt the enormity of space and my small place in the monumental universe.
- geerlingguy 3y agoMostly for things leading up to it; during totality you just kinda look up, and that's it. The kids won't really notice much until pretty soon before totality, so it's nice to have some activity to occupy them :) Especially things like pinhole viewers to see the partial eclipse image without glasses.
- JKCalhoun 3y agoHeading to the southern end of the state or are you wandering down toward Texas?
- geerlingguy 3y agoSouthern MO. We'll risk the clouds to save a flight or a longer drive—hopefully we get clear skies! I have a friend down in Carbondale who's fortunate enough to be right in the middle of both eclipses. Was considering going there, but it'll be a larger family trip, and it was easier to load into a few hotel rooms in southern MO.
