During my Ecology class, our teacher used to be an astronomy teacher. So, instead of wasting our time with Ecology stuff and waiting till the last 10 minutes of class to go see the sun with the special glasses, she started to teach us about how big space is. And talking about how she met up with an Astronomy professor from ASU and told us about how space is a massive timeline and folding on itself. Our brains were being blown to pieces.
There were handfuls of kids who had their own special glasses, so there'd be big groups during class and lunch looking at the eclipse and how it cool it was.
