I got some pictures of a solar eclipse passing over here in southern California. It was only a partial eclipse, and the moon only covered about 85% of the sun's diameter at the maximum extent here. The drop in light intensity was mostly unnoticeable, though all the shadows got blurry and some spots of light turned into crescents.

This is a seriously shrunken picture of the sun through a DVD. DVDs are not completely opaque, I discovered that you can actually see very bright things through them. Without the DVD, this picture would be a blob of white. As you can see, the sun is not round. It is an eclipse. I got quite a few other pictures, some clearer than this one, but it would take a long time to resize all of them.

This is another picture, this time using two perpendicular polarizing lenses.

Another picture, when more of the sun was obscured.

I got a clearer picture, I'll convert and shrink it later. Also, I took a pcture of the projected eclipses on a wall from the shafts of light that fall through leaves. See, the little gaps form an image of the light source when the light shines through it and lands on something. Usually, the light source is roud, but during the eclipse the light source was a crescent so the images were crescents.

Anyone notice how every once in a while some slushy thing appears on our wiki as an add and replaces our background?

Yeah, an ad for 7Eleven's "New Slurpee Lite". I hear it on the radio. A lot.
