Solar Eclipse
Did you know there is a solar eclipse today? At maximum eclipse, the sun will be only 40% obscured where I live, and that's about the best anyone in the US can expect. Apparently 40% obscured isn't enough for light to be dimmed noticeably, so you'd have to use a pinhole camera type device to experience it at all.
I can remember making (and using) such a device when I was in middle school. It was a memorable day cause whatever club I belonged to went on a field trip to visit a stockbroker and research stocks while it happened. All of the employees there were quite fascinated.
