Just like everywhere else in America the people here at the offices of KAT Country 103 have been anxiously awaiting a chance to look at, what is here in Central California, the partial eclipse. No one in our office had the special ISO certified glasses or a welding mask that you could look at the eclipse with directly so one of our salespeople made a pinhole “camera”. In case you’re not familiar that’s where you poke a tiny hole in a piece of paper, hold it up toward the light, and then the mirrored image of the eclipse shows up on the paper below. As you can see from the photo I’ve posted here of the image our pinhole camera created, it’s very riveting. I expected to see some red and yellow brilliant starburst form around the moon. Instead I got a celestial mini-shadow puppet on the back of a paper plate. I haven’t been so underwhelmed since I was 11 and saw the photos Viking 1 beamed back to earth in black and white of rocks on the surface of Mars. I was expecting to see Martians. So disappointed.
