Happy Monday, everyone!
As you may have heard, today we experienced the first solar eclipse in the USA in over 8 years. The HELEN MILLS team celebrated with a trip to the roof, where we made friends with other building tenants, gazed over the New York City skyline, and watched in awe as the moon cast a shadow across our sun.
We made pinhole projectors out of recycled boxes, as suggested by NASA. All we needed was a cardboard box, aluminum foil, tape, and a needle to prick a hole.
If you were wondering, Kashi makes the best eclipse viewer boxes.
We made friends with so many other tenants in our building! They shared their eclipse glasses with us, and in turn we showed them how to use our homemade viewer boxes.
Can you spot the eclipse shadow?
We've already marked our calendars for the next eclipse in 2024!
