Make an Eclipse Simulator

This free document prepared by Dr. Daniel Barth outlines an Eclipse Simulator activity, stressing the importance of safety during solar eclipse observations.

The instructions guide readers to trace the path of the Moon using a coin or bottle cap, creating a simulation of the eclipse. The steps involve sketching the solar disk, depicting the eclipse's curve at its maximum, and connecting the points where the Moon contacts the solar disk.

The simulator is designed to showcase the eclipse seen on a particular day, allowing for a safer and educational eclipse experience.
