So we had a partial solar eclipse here yesterday. It was really cool. I made a pinhole viewer where you project the image of the sun onto a piece of paper through a pinhole in another piece of paper. And the shadows from the spaces between the leaves on all the trees were crescent-shaped!

Biking around campus, I saw all these people standing outside with various contraptions or even just making pinholes with their fingers and looking at the shadows. And it got a bit darker. One guy in the next lab made a filter by putting together a whole bunch of pieces of over-exposed film so that you could actually look directly at the sun through it (the sun was a faint disk with a bite out of it through the filter).

But the coolest part was when I went to swim. The shadows on the bottom of the pool from the waves were all crescents. Trippy!
