Touching the Sun (4 of 4)
This was taken a while ago but I thought it was neat. There is a window in my bedroom all the way on the opposite side of a plain yellow window-shade. There's a small 3mm hole in the frame of the window and with the rest of the window covered this nearly perfect (but inverted) pinhole reproduction of the sun and its attendant clouds played across my bedroom window shade. I thought it was pretty cool.

I remember one eclipse we had here, the paper had a picture with a bunch of little crescent suns that came through someone's straw hat. Something like this: http://victoria.rasc.ca/gallery/images/ec05hat.jpg Of course, there's also something to be said about a single well-formed projection. |
