Very cool. Reminds me of Delores Claiborne, only less New Englandy and more Asiany. ;)
Does viewing directly really burn your retinas? Why? What is in the glasses (or even more weird, what is it about a pinhole device thingy) that keeps your eyes from charring?
When I looked at those, I couldn't help but notice how creative the photographers got, finding something interesting to include in the picture, 'cause the Sun looks the same. :haha:

It will damage your eyes, absolutely. "Burn your retinas?"
Not exactly, but that may be a matter of interpretation.
Also a real-life account.
The filters cut back the infrared, UV, and other damaging stuff. THe problem is you could still get in trouble if a bit of the filter is damaged and lets a bit in. The pinhole thingys project an image of the sun onto a surface, so you're getting indirect light.
See (pun intended) how much I learn here?
Thanks! :)
Very cool. It is also interesting to note how different cultures respond to these events as being magical or significant signs from the nether-nether land.
