Homeschooled children and their parents visited the Maricopa Public Library Monday morning during the partial solar eclipse. With assistance from staff, kids constructed pinhole projection devices and learned facts about solar eclipses. Adults and children alike safely viewed the celestial event through “eclipse glasses” granted to the library from the Space Science Institute and the STAR-Net Network. The moon obstructed the sun at its peak by nearly 65 percent at 10:33 a.m.
