Watching a Solar Eclipse ======================== There was a solar eclipse today, June 21, 2002. It was a ring of fire eclipse, but where I live, I only saw a swollen crescent. Of course you should not watch a solar eclipse with a naked eye! You must use a special filter. Otherwise, you will see nothing special about the sun, and migh damage your eye-sight. Even synglasses are not considered sun filters for that activity. So, I found that floppy discs are still useful. I moved the disc's shutter to reveal that thin round storage area of the disk, and looked at the sun for a short while thru the dark medium. I'm not sure the disc is good enough a solar filter, but with that filter I confirmed that there really was a solar eclipse today. Anyway, a great way to watch a solar eclipse is to look at a picture of one.
