@DiscoveryCntr I think this is great to do for the students. My only suggestion please announce it sooner. I know many people who went and bought their own or ordered off Amazon in order to get them.

@AVRCE_NS @DiscoveryCntr Are buses going to be driving during the eclipse to take students home? Is that a good idea? @AVRCE_NS, students at many schools will still be on the bus even at the peak.

Safety first! The Artemis II astronauts can be seen in their eclipse glasses, worn to protect their eyes when they experienced a solar eclipse on April 6. The Sun, the Moon, and the Orion spacecraft aligned — and Moon joy was had!

🚨TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE & BLOOD MOON: WHEN AND HOW TO WATCH A total lunar eclipse will create a Blood Moon on the night of Thursday, March 13, into the early morning of March 14, visible across South America, Central America, the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Spain. What is a Blood Moon? During a total lunar eclipse, Earth passes directly between the Sun and the Moon, casting its shadow on the lunar surface. Due to Rayleigh scattering, shorter light wavelengths are filtered out, leaving the Moon bathed in a deep red or orange hue. Source: E News, Depor

What's Missing From This Solar Eclipse? 🌞🌖 Have you ever stopped to think that when you see a solar eclipse, you never see the moon before or after the eclipse? Most people don't. What we see is a black circle appearing out of nowhere and moving across the face of the sun. The point being, a solar eclipse is not what they taught you in school. Nobody knows exactly what it is, but without a doubt, it's not the moon blocking out the sun.

Blink and you'll miss it 🌑☀️ A total solar eclipse swept across North America yesterday, blocking out the Sun for a few moments. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth and, for a short period, blocks the face of the Sun, save for a visible ring of light, known as the Sun’s corona. These images by the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES-16) captured the moon's shadow casted on Earth's surface moving across North America from 16:00 to 23:00 CEST. 🎥 European Space Agency NOAA Satellites

A Pakistani student made a model of solar eclipse and lunar eclipse. Student moved the earth to show how solar eclipse happens. A Maulana was watching this very closely and told him that earth doesn't move as per Quran. Allah has made earth stationary and mountains stop earth from moving. In the end, that student said Quran is right and science is wrong while other students shouted SubhanAllah.
