Friday Fun - The Sarsen Team Witnesses the Solar Eclipse

Author - Laura

Today was quite a special day. Not only have we witnessed a partial eclipse, but it took place on the Spring Equinox during a Supermoon. This is quite rare - the equinox will happen at the same time as a solar eclipse again in 2053 and 2072.

Here at Sarsen we work with exciting technology every day, from embedded systems used on the International Space Station to boards used in segmented mirror telescopes. I think we're quite comfortable with space-level wizardry.

So when we found out there was going to be an eclipse that would be visible here in Wiltshire, we put our best minds to the task of creating a device that would allow us to view the eclipse without damaging our eyesight...

Here's what we came up with...

I think we'll leave the manufacturing to these guys in future... Our Manufacturers

Enjoy your weekend!
