85 years ago to the day there was a total eclipse of the sun over New York City. USS Los Angeles Navy dirigible flew over the eastern end of Long Island to film the event. It was at 9:11 am on a frigid Saturday morning of January 24th, 1925. tse1925.com for more details. Mike Kentrianakis

If a solar eclipse occurs while small kids are at school will the teachers bring them inside or let them see?


Question by IIIIIII: If a solar eclipse occurs while small kids are at school will the teachers bring them inside or let them see?
A solar eclipse occurred when I was 11 and all the kids were outside after lunch. Teachers passed around a few pairs of glasses through which to view the eclipse, but there weren't many pairs for all the kids.

I was too excited to wait and squinted one eye shut and looked directly at the eclipse with the other eye...the next day I was at the eye doctor with an ultraviolet laser burn in the ...cornea, I believe...in other words, a permanent blind spot, which I still have thirty years later.

But what about the younger kids, like 6 or 10 years old? Will teachers protect them? Kids can be extremely curious and excited about these things...I actually plan to keep my youngest son home inside in the event of a solar eclipse...and NOT let him be in school at that time.

People don't understand that the eclipse can seriously and permanently damage the eyes- and I only looked at it for about 7 seconds...while my eyeball was being painlessly burned away from the center outward and I hadn't a clue till it was too late.

Atheists, don't you find it strange that the Moon blocks the Sun perfectly in a total solar eclipse?


Question by Wayne: Atheists, don't you find it strange that the Moon blocks the Sun perfectly in a total solar eclipse?
I've just finished watching a science documentary and I was shocked to learn how rare in the universe a total solar eclipse is. On Earth we are extremely lucky that the Moon is just the right distance from the Sun for it to cover it perfectly in a total solar eclipse. As soon as I learned that fact I knew God was the reason. There's no way it was a coincidence.

Atheists, don't you find it strange? Surely the truth is staring you right in the face and you are looking the other way?


Best answer:
Answer by Atheist Santa ClausYes, but it was probably a coincidence. With a universe that has probably millions of trillions of planets, surely a few such planets got lucky and had a single moon that allowed a total eclipse?
