Experiments with the Sun

Hi all. Went out of town to Winkler on Monday and as evening approached the conversation turned to the eclipse and how to see it. Playing with a vegetable box I spearheaded a pinhole camera experiment and found we could watch it in safety!


Here is the sun with the "pin hole" box.




 The sun lined up with the pin hole box and the image box.




The image of the sun with the moon eclipse on a Peak of the Market potato box. The 1/2" hole in the pinhole box was finally mounted on the fence post and this box was around 40' away.


On another note,


some of us were attentive to some other 'suns.'
