The solar eclipse fascinated Hoover students on Monday.
“It’s pretty cool,” said Hoover sophomore Peter Villa. “I heard that we’re not going to get one for another 10 years so this is really like an opportunity of a lifetime.”
According to NASA, cities throughout the United States saw a total or near total eclipse.
The eclipse in Southern California took place from 11:10 a.m. until 11:15 a.m. The sun was obscured by 59% to 64%,.
“Eclipses are always really fabulous demonstrations that are understanding of gravitation and mechanics work,” said Eric Robinson, a physics teacher at Hoover high. “The fact that the next one isn’t until 2044 is weird and existential.”
