Ooooh, that was so cool. Because I got out at 3:45, after school I raced home and arrived around 4 or 4:05: the time for maximum eclipse viewage. I got out a gigantic piece of cardboard (about 4×7 feet), an easel, a hairbrush with a mirror in the back, mailing tape, and a bag to prop up the cardboard (and the convenient neighbor’s car ^_^;) and made an eclipse viewer. It’s very simple. I propped up the easel and adjusted it so that I could easily let the mirrored hairbrush rest in the easel prong things. Then I taped over most of the mirror, leaving a square slightly less than an inch on each side. I propped up the cardboard using the neighbor’s car and the bag, then aimed the hairbrush so that the reflected light would hit the cardboard (the mirror and cardboard were about 25-30 feet apart). Just as it is in a pinhole camera, the reflected light gave me a perfect reproduction of the light present. Because the only light bright enough to be picked up by the naked eye was the eclipse, projected onto the cardboard was a circle of light with a bite taken out of it — how nifty is that? I took some pictures, but I don’t think they’ll come out very well, as the projection was rather faint. It was still really cool, though. I can’t wait until the next eclipse! Maybe I can set up a bunch of pinhole cameras or summat. I’ll develop the film later and print some up if you can see anything. Ah, the joys of science…
