And no ghettopotamuses throwing chairs and tables or a 250 pounder body slamming the teacher.
When I was little we would sneeze at the sun until we went blind!
During an actual total eclipse the sun is completely obscured. That is literally the literal meaning of the word eclipse. During the time of the literally literal totally total totality there is no danger of eye damage.
I’m in Erie too, Cobblestone.
My whole family back in Florida is asking if they can come up for the day. Just kidding. They asked what I’m doing, and I’m going to be with friends, walking distance. No traffic that way.
The mistake is the single adult male top left of feature photo purposefully staring at the sun after the entire article is written about solar safety.
I tried using pinhole projection in 1970. No disk or partially covered disk.
I think I sneaked a few glances straight at the sun but it didn’t look different than other days. We were in the partial path.
My friend’s mother locked all eight of her children inside and pulled the shades. No children going blind there!
The spangled crescents in the tree shadows are beautiful. Saw those maybe 24 years ago?
Light sneeze reflex. Some of us have it in spades.
I could still see effects from the partial eclipse, such as the crescents the shade trees throw on the ground, if it weren’t for the clouds.
I have family that live in Hot Springs. I’m upset that I didn’t schedule a trip there.
“During the time of the literally literal totally total totality there is no danger of eye damage.”
Only 1% of people seem to be intelligent enough to make that distinction. Just make sure that for any given eclipse it is a total eclipse and not an annual eclipse.
Annular
My 35mm camera has a movable screen on the back, so last eclipse I could point camera at the sun and view on the screen to take a picture. My guess is that looking through the camera directly at the sun would be a severely bad idea.
Use a magnifying glass to focus on a peice of cardboard.
clouds won’t effect the image
The magic ingredient for Pina colada is..........
Breyers vanilla bean ice cream, shhhhhhhhh
I got a lot of crescent pictures on my driveway during the last eclipse in October here in Texas. My cousin put up a big white cloth on a frame and took a picture from the backside.
Nice pics.
well good luck there....it appears a lot of the US will be getting clouds or rain during the eclipse. New England looks like it might be the ideal spot with clear skies forecast and maybe Illinois.
I have a welding helmet.
I think watching on tv is the best bet.
Its scary.
People will actually be doing this.
