You can make a hole with your fingers and see the patterns of very bright lights above you, stadium lights etc. It’s just a vertical camera obscura. I remember the 90s solar partial eclipse really well because I was riding home from school, the leaves and even the spokes on my bike projected moons everywhere, it was completely magical.

I watched the one in the late 2010s through the hole in my transit pass lol
Had glasses and travelled to totality for the last one. It was incredible. Highly tempted to try to make it to europe for the next one
