Many Denverites took a guarded look at the sun – or at the sun's image – in a partial, 88 percent eclipse in 1979. Denver Public School teachers took advantage of student interest in the astronomical phenomenon (there won't be another until the year 2017) to carry out some scientific classroom projects. William Wilkin, principal at Stephen Knight Elementary School, said all 380 pupils left their classrooms to see the eclipse from the vantage point of the playground. Many youngsters made viewing boxes to watch the eclipse by projection. (Photo by Ernie Leyba/The Denver Post)
