Total Solar Eclipse

Predict the Corona

Long before there were cameras or

telescopes, people used drawings

and paintings to predict the corona.

Check out pictures of my predictions.

Prediction #1

Create your own corona

You can have fun creating your

own picture of a solar eclipse

using paper, chalk and pencil.

Prediction #2

My total solar eclipse art

The whole family can get involved

in learning about eclipses.

I worked on the predictions with

some help from my mom.

Prediction #3

Safety

Always use special eclipse or solar viewing glasses to

view an eclipse.

Eclipses through the eyes of NASA

I went to my local library and got information on how to

experience the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024.

I also got my safety solar viewing glasses from the library.

You can go to go.nasa.gov/Eclipse2024 for more

information.

Umbra and Penumbra

When light is blocked by an object a shadow appears. A

shadow is a dark area on a bright surface.

In Solar Eclipse the moon comes between sun and the

earth.The moon blocks out the light from the sun and the

moon’s shadow falls on the Earth’s surface. Umbra is

the darkest part of the shadow. The part of the shadow

that is lighter is called Penumbra.
