    I remember as a kid in 1990 we had a total solar eclipse in San Jose, California. I used my hands to make a circle to see the eclipse in the shadow on the ground. Even the shadows cast the by the leaves in the trees had crescent shadows. It was so cool!

    • @grantw.whitwam9948

      Joe Rusynyk "just smart"? With the amount of content he's putting out plus school and everything else he's got going on, I'd say "really good at actually getting shit done". Being smart doesn't help if you're sitting around, which lots of "smart" people seem to spend a lot of time doing

      @chadd990 7 лет назад +20

      It's true that he is very smart for his age. He knows how to figure things out on his own quite well, which I understand is one way to measure intelligence. He certainly was raised in an environment that allowed his curiosity to thrive, but I think his passion and determination is really what allowed his knowledge to grow. If you're raised in the city, you rely on public schooling and libraries for most of your knowledge, but if you were born on a farm like him, it really takes hands on experience and figuring things out on your own.

    Thanks Cody. The lens is a neat refinement for a single user. You can also project the image, without a lens, onto a sheet of white paper so that several people can see the enlarged image at the same time, with no danger of accidentally looking at the sun during setup. I made a pinhole camera out of drainpipe and baking foil, with an A4 viewing sheet, for viewing the same Venus transit that you saw, and it worked very well.

    Re-post in case you missed it:
    If you decide to use your telescope do NOT use the sun lens! (If it came with one) When I was younger I was sketching sun spots when the filter split in two. Luckily I had just turned my head away so I only ended up with a bad burn across my cheek.
    Instead, take out the eye piece and project it onto a piece of paper.
    Great videos!!

    Hey Cody me and my wife made this for the drive to Wyoming. We found that with this and the projection box viewer styles, putting the magnifier just onto of the pinhole the light came in made the images very very crisp. We did not use the one at the viewing end as we couldn't quite get the focal point right. But putting it over the pinhole made the slightly smaller image incredibly crisp. Whether you record it or not give it a shot on a good day its an incredible difference in clarity.

      Yes - flat black inside. Also sanding off the burr on the inside of the pin hole aperture will improve the focus. A local camera shop should have a laser cut foil aperture for about $5.00 - better than anything you could make.

    SIMPLEST METHOD: If you have a large smartphone, just keep your eyes close to the smartphone and watch the event through your smartphone camera, or wear a good pair of UVA/UVB blocking sunglasses. A QUICK glance at the eclipse even without protective eyewear, should not damage your eyes. People accidentally look directly at the sun while driving all the time, or look at the rising & setting sun on the horizon. Very few have problems.

    When I was at school, the science teacher showed us a way to observe sunspots with a similar method to yours, Cody.
    He pointed a telescope at the sun, and captured the light within a cardboard box (to block out unwanted external light). The image projected in the box was quite clear, and you could identify the sunspots and heatwaves visible on the sun.
    It goes without saying, but he told us not to look through the eyepiece while it was pointed at the sun, haha.

    This would be a neat project to scale up to the size of maybe 5 gallon bucks so that more people could gather around and watch the upcoming eclipse. the only drawback would be a magnifying glass that big would be pretty expensive i imagine, and you'd need some type of bracket to hold it all.

    I made solar projector like this in 2015. Without magnifying lens I need about 1,5 metre long viewer to get projected sun to be about coin size.
    The girls in our college mosque come to me after praying to see the eclipse. Totally worth it.

    An x-ray sheet is very good for looking at the sun. You can also change the intensity of the image of the sun by moving the sheet around.

    This was great. I never made anything like this when I was a kid. The interesting thing is around where I am most of the counties have banned plastic bags and I don't think a paper bag for 5 cents would work on this project.

    You can add some black paper to reduce internal reflection caused by the aluminum.
    Actually by modifying the setup you can also observe 100 micron object with ease.

    You can make a huge image of the sun by using a small flat mirror and project the sun onto a large screen. The screen must be far enough away from the mirror that the mirror acts as a pinhole, but you can easily get an image of the sun that way that is a meter in diameter or so.

  • @BillDeWitt
    @BillDeWitt 7 лет назад

    My normal way of watching solar events is to set up a small mirror (an inch or two) to reflect the sun onto a shaded white wall. It's a great magnification (the further away it is), maybe a yard or two across, sunspots visible, eclipse distinct. Sort of the reverse of a pinhole.

    Worked great.

    I LOVE Sol. It's easily my favorite star.
    My top 3 stars are:
    1. Sol
    2. Eta Carinae A
    3. Eta Carinae B
    You'd need to be in the southern hemisphere to view the Eta Carinae stars, though, and a high magnification telescope. 7800ly is a long way away.

  • @derfeuerwerker2177
    @derfeuerwerker2177 7 лет назад

    Just fold 4-6 a rescue blanket 4-6 times and use this as a filter to watch the sun. the light will be blocked mostly but you got a good immage of the sun and for example the moon in front of it

    Wish I'd seen this a few days ago. Could have shared the eclipse better, better understood why the pinholes I punched in some paper worked, and eaten a few cans of Pringles to boot. :-) Love your channel, sir!

  • @timharig
    @timharig 7 лет назад

    I made a pinhole projector for an eclipse back in 90s but, I found out that the light filtering through every tree makes an impromptu pinhole projector. The ground underneath was covered with crescents everywhere as the eclipse started.

    Completely unrelated, but something I like to see Cody test is the weight of a fly in a jar. I've seen discussions/explanations on YT but not an experiment.
