Total Eclipse of the Heart Sun - Speechless Sundays     Today, we were excited to experience a solar eclipse.  Here in Costa Mesa, the sun was approximately 78% covered by the moon.  There were areas that were 85%, and still ours was amazing. Unfortunately, the marine layer moved in about 10 minutes before the biggest part of the eclipse.  Even so, the kids and the adults found it an exciting experience. 05/20/2012
