Kids see solar eclipse at Liberty Science Center

Arthur what's going on where you are you look great protection this is protection yeah you guys are right this Liberty Science Center here at Georgia City really is a gem in the tri-state area and from where we stand right now not a cloud in the sky so you can see it so clearly but you do need these glasses because the sun is so powerful you would not know how hot and based on how hot it is and how bright it is outside that this is actually happening but in order to help everybody else check it out here you have staffers from the Liberty Science Center they've got telescopes out here they've got that sun spotter that Audrey was describing as well and I don't over an hour ago is when they started lining up and all the kids got to see it they've been handing out these glasses obviously it's not for comfort not for fun but you really do you really do need it but they have this outside they have a webcast inside that's showing pictures from Spain and from Iceland and then also in their theater today their IMAX planetarium they're going to also be showing some of some of this as well in there so there's some people if you're coming for the planetarium show to get to get in those seats on the early side so that you can catch this while it's still happening as you point out we have about another half an hour to this but it's really cool it's really cool so we'll talk about it on the four and five o'clock newscast all the kids are excited out here we talked to the director of the Liberty Science Center out here too and he says this is really special this doesn't happen very often the next time it's going to be a wait about 18 years from like today really in 2044 but he did point out that if you're in the celestial mood you don't have to wait that long you can actually see the moon eclipse which will happen in about two weeks time that's when the moon looks very very red and people call it the blood moon so there are all kinds of ways to enjoy these but certainly for the eclipse it's going to be a little bit of a wait today really special for the people who are out you know next one and the kids Arthur how excited are they we see them moving around behind you but are they like into it into it is it just the adults are like super into it they're into it but it's interesting you say that most of the ones that are coming up to the telescopes are with their parents this is the last week of camp for a lot of kids in the tri-state area and those kids were all wearing like the same color t-shirts they've been in the same pit doing other stuff but anybody who came with the parents and maybe the parents are a big part of that excited when you were a kid did you know what a partial eclipse was or full eclipse probably not unless an adult told you about it but yeah so all the kids that are over here are are with adults but i think this is something that's fun for everyone yeah with the proper eyewear to be outside watching future so bright we gotta wear shades out here he does he's always
