eclipse 3
far and away the best way to view the eclipse is to surf the internet. there are some absolutely fantastic pictures out there. we discovered the second best way kinda by accident. long ago we replaced the single pane windows in the house with energy efficient double pane windows. it turns out the glass is only like 99% transparent. and 1% reflective. so when the sun hits the second pane, 1% is reflected back towards the first pane. 0.01% is reflected back to the second pane. most of which is reflected back towards the sun. and the observer in this case. the sun was far enough from perpendicular to the window that one could see several images of the sun. by carefully positioning oneself, the too-bright images would be out of view. and the just-right image would be at the edge of the window. was a pretty cool accidental discovery.
