Staring at that face can cause:
Nausea
Vomiting
Dysentery
Migraine headaches
High blood pressure
Bruxism (grinding of teeth)
Insomnia
Substance abuse
Depression
...

Suppose that could go under the "substance abuse" category tho....

Already get migraines and they have greatly intensified since November....

Retweet this one? Ha!

as someone who was fortunate enough to have seen the eclipse in totality, and is an astronomy teacher I feel I should point out that the moon actually crossed the sun from right to left. I know this sounds petty, but as a science teacher, I felt that it should be stated.

Thanks everyone.

Go Science!

and the moon actually crossed the sun from left to right.

however, the pin hole projector was an inverted vision of the actual eclipse. the moon actually moved from the right to left.

It was reversed, or mirrored (reflection in geometry). The Moon began to cross the Sun from the upper right corner, so the pin-hole would have shown it crossing from the upper left; a mirrored vision. An inverted vision would have shown it crossing from the lower left.

I could be incorrect, but I believe a lense would be required for an actual inverted image.

I seem to remember the Questar I was using back in the seventies produced a reversed image, and I simply flipped the film in the darkroom to get the proper orientation. Boy, that was a long time ago, and I can't remember shit these days.

which is why binoculars have multiple lenses and prisms to flip the image back

Its more of a political statement than a astronomical

but as we are supposed to be fact-based, I thought I would clarify.
