Despite encountering heavy traffic, we arrived in St. Johnsbury, Vermont just as the eclipse was starting. The curricular timing of the eclipse was perfect, as we are about to study stellar structure and evolution in Astronomy. A total solar eclipse is the only time that the corona, which is normally obscured in the brightness of the sun, is visible. While it's true that students were able to see what we are about to study with their own eyes, the real impact on the students would be best written by a poet. Everyone had a different reaction to the 2 minutes when the sun was completely blocked by the moon; what our reactions had in common was the significance of that short amount of time. Not one student I spoke to regretted the 16 hours spent on the bus on that day. It's an event that we'll all remember forever.
