Group effort
Students at Wigan & Leigh College were excited to witness the partial solar eclipse on 10 June, and with help from lecturer Robert Kavanagh and our A-Level physics students we set up an observation session to safely observe it. It was a brilliant opportunity to witness the celestial mechanics of Earth with our natural satellite – the Moon. The students wore eclipse glasses to observe safety, and I had set up my telescope and digital camera to capture a clear close-up view. Seeing all the science students and teachers observing was a real display of our shared passion for natural science.
