It was a very special day on the 10th of June, Ireland watched as the moon partially blocked our view of the sun, known as a solar eclipse! We researched what an eclipse was and found that the sun is much larger and further away from the earth than the moon. The moon appears to be the same size as the sun although it is much smaller, this is due to it being nearer. We viewed the solar eclipse using 'eclipse glasses' from Astronomy Ireland. So cool!
