Our blinds functioned as a #pinhole #camera this morning, projecting the top of a tree onto the wall, upside down. This tree is 110m away!

#photography #optics

Home again. And after four windy days at the beach, I'm going to need to clean the tiny particles, grime and brine off of some #optics:

- Newtonian reflector's #eyepieces
- #binoculars
- #camera (the UV filter's "out" side)

I think the way is:

- compressed air can from office supply store to gently blow off the particles
- distilled water mixed with a bit of denatured alcohol, rinse, or on Q-tips, to prevent spotting while drying

I'll wash the Newtonian's mirror separately. Done that before.

The murder of National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom is on the heads of the every #republican in #congress who refused to stop #trump's illegal use of the military to create the situation just for cheap #optics

All of the #GOP is GUILTY for allowing this deranged fuckwit to misuse America's military to murder random people on the high seas, and military personnel as open targets in a free society,

The goal is to implement martial law, run by a madman.

Republicans ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN.

How does light bend at the interface between two media, and what determines the angle?
With Bending Light, students can explore light between two media of different indices of refraction and play with different prisms(shapes and materials) https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulations/bending-light/ #Optics #Prisms #physics

University of Rochester: Metasurfaces show promise in boosting AR image clarity and brightness. โ€œResearchers at the University of Rochester have designed and demonstrated a new optical component that could significantly enhance the brightness and image quality of augmented reality (AR) glasses. The advance brings AR glasses a step closer to becoming as commonplace and useful as todayโ€™s [โ€ฆ]

Photonic thermal management of coloured objects - Nature Communications

Understanding the tunable range of radiative thermal load for a given colour is important for thermal management of outdoor structures. Here, the authors theoretically and experimentally highlighted all mechanisms through which one can control the radiative thermal load of coloured objects.
