Kelson's Pics (old)A colander as a #PinholeCamera
Update (now with words!): I didn’t arrange another road trip to see today’s total eclipse like we took in 2017 (which was amazing, by the way!). But we had clear skies, so we broke out the eclipse glasses from 2017 again. And it turns out that yes, a colander *does* make a fun instrument for observing a solar eclipse!
Also at my blog: some thoughts on just how common eclipses are, planetwide, though they're rare in any specific location - and how that fits with historical takes on how they happen and what they mean.
