Blog#2: A solar eclipse

     Hello, everyone, I'm Mizuki Endo. It may be a little old news, but I'd love to tell you this incident, so please let me introduce this news.
     On May 21, there was a solar eclipse in Tokyo. The solar eclipse happens because the moon goes across the sun and then, the sun gets hidden by the moon. This page explains this phenomenon in detail.
     And I and Maho Hanaki went to Asakuksa in order to watch it with Tokyo Skytree!! I live near Tokyo Skytree, but I didn't know that the solar eclipse and Skytree can be looked together from Azumabashi in Asakusa. At the night on May 20, Maho taught me that and invited me to go there, so we went there.
     Although I thought there would be a lot of people, it was not. We arrived at Asakusa station at 7:15, but we could watch it very well. At about 7:30, the sun began to look like a ring and it was very mysterious and moving. But an accident happened. While we enjoyed looking at the solar eclipse――the next time we're able to watch it is 300 years after――Mezamashi TV's clue started to interview us. And we missed the end of the eclipse! How terrible it was!

  2. That's a regrettable incident X(
    I was able to see solar eclipse at home in Saitama! Saitama looked beautiful without a cloud.

    Then, I took picture. If you want to the photo, I'm going to send email with the photo.
