On April 8, the moon covered 90 percent of the sun here on Long Island and ninth grade students made sure to not miss out on this rare planetary alignment.
The students at East Rockaway Jr./Sr. High School went outside at 2 p.m. to experience this phenomenon. The next total solar eclipse in New York will not happen for another 55 years.
