My grandfather worked as a meteorologist, and as a student, he built his own telescope (which is how he met my grandmother). <br /><br />My favorite picture of him shows him with the telescope and a partial eclipse - which happened one year on my birthday. His grin was brighter than the sun!<br /><br />(And in a coincidence, they were living in Columbia!)<br /><br />@dSavannahCreate from<br /><a href="http://dsavannah.com/blog/" rel="nofollow">dSavannahRambles</a><br />#AtoZChallenge2016 theme: dSavannah Defects<br />dSavannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09650642880739779743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-47856931593689367712016-04-06T23:28:05.166-04:002016-04-06T23:28:05.166-04:00Watching an eclipse is not considered auspicious s...Watching an eclipse is not considered auspicious so I don't really follow them closely Penelope Potty Snooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13506050791510159530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-25628549409847518402016-04-06T20:58:49.508-04:002016-04-06T20:58:49.508-04:00After reading your post today, I feel as though I ...After reading your post today, I feel as though I have experienced the site of an eclipse.

My first was with my 5th grader son for his school project. Sitting side by side with a huge box over our heads we watched the eclipse through a pin hole. The next day our local newspaper featured a picture and headline....'Two Box Heads Watch Eclipse'. A good one for the scrapbook, and an A+ on the project.<br />Sue at <a href="http://collectintexasgal.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">CollectInTexas Gal</a><br />Sue McPeakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04927975578544675345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-18022769804925696522016-04-06T17:15:36.095-04:002016-04-06T17:15:36.095-04:00I only saw one solar eclipse and I thought it was ...I only saw one solar eclipse and I thought it was sort of eerie.

Columbia, SC is a reasonable drive for us, but I'm sure it won't be one we'll make just to see the ellipse, though. I will definitely note the event and perhaps, we can glimpse a peak of it from the Smoky Mountains. I hope you guys get to make a family vacation around this next year. <br /><br />~Curious as a Cathy<br /><a href="http://curiousasacathy.com/2016/04/all-things-vintage-elvgren-art-aprila2z/" rel="nofollow">All Things Vintage: Elvgren Art #AprilA2Z</a>Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01056276734145310231noreply@blogger.com
