#COLANDERS AREN'T JUST FOR PASTA: Picture this: You just found out there's going to be a #solar eclipse and--oh no!--you can't find your #eclipse glasses. No problem. Just grab a colander. Steve Lee of Lovington, #New-Mexico, held one up to the sky on Oct 14th and created two hundred tiny images of the #eclipsed #sun:
Colanders make excellent eclipse projectors. Each hole in the pasta strainer acts like a pinhole camera, beaming an image of the sun onto any convenient screen. It's like an insect with compound eyes--an insect that did not lose its eclipse glasses.
The images on Lee's sidewalk look like donuts because that's how the sun looked at the time. An #annular eclipse was underway, with the #Moon dead-center in front of the #solar disk.
