On Friday, in about a 185 mile band across Asia and Africa that included us (!) a solar eclipse was visible during the 8 a.m. hour. It was the longest one since 1992 and there won't be another one of that length for 1000 years!!! Seeing God's active creation is the best way to start out the day! Geoff took two papers-one with a pinhole to capture the image and the other to reveal the image of the sun while eclipsed by the moon. After that we found some great glasses and were able to safely look at the eclipse. The Ugandans say "the moon and the sun were fighting". The David family kids (and ours, too) enjoyed our impromptu science class.
