Eclipse viewing
I saw todays eclipse with my own eyes through an indigenous pinhole camera. Took me like 5 minutes to build it. i took a long plastic poster of krishna(the god) and rolled it into a cylindea. covered on end with aluminum foil and made a small pin hole in it. On the other end i put a tissue paper and taped it around the mouth of the cylinder.Then i pointed the aluminum end at the sun and i was able to see a miniature image of the sun partly covered and at around 1:40 i was able to observe the ring of light around the moon ....was an awesome sight.... i also made a video of the eclipse towards the end i will post the link after i upload
