If you haven’t already heard, an eclipse called the “Ring of Fire” will be occurring in the United States this Sunday, May 20, 2012. It will be a 90% eclipse where I live, which is the best for this type of eclipse, so I am WAY excited! I’m gonna go and purchase some eclipse viewing glasses for my family and me, but here are some other way’s you can view the eclipse… oh and some really fun things to do with the shadows created from the eclipse. Get your camera’s ready! The eclipse will be total around 6:33 PM MST for me.
