A TV news person was reporting on the eclipse today. In passing she mentioned you could see the eclipse (without special glasses) in the light shining through the leaves on the trees. That made no sense to me until I went outside and looked down.
Look close, there they are on the asphalt. Hundreds of little eclipse crescents like many pinhole cameras! These were the focused sunbeams shining through the open areas in the oak trees.
We noticed that on accident, too, Chris. We also found that criss crossing your fingers just right would do the same thing.
ReplyDeleteHi Metal,
DeleteI didn't know about the criss-crossing your fingers thing. I'll have to try that in 2024!
