I'm not the best photographer - I didn't have eclipse glasses

Yeah I used a pinhole as well. Didn't notice the giant celestial dong, tho.
- Bezos' new spaceship trying to block the view so everyone has to buy PPV on PrimeVideo.

It looks like a giant...
- Johnson! Get over here! What is this on radar?
  I don't know, Sir. It looks like a huge...
  
  Wang, get me some more noodles....
  hey, is that a giant...
- Yeah, but the eclipse put a curve on it...
  
  well, something there is curving space and time. it must be absolutely MASSIVE!

There's always some dick photobombing...

Is that lord Helmet,or are you happy to see the eclipse?

How is it possible that the eclipse is projected? I thought that all light rays coming from the sun were pretty much parallel given the enormous distance.
- Because the sun isn't a point source, they're still coming in from different directions depending on what part of the sun they originated from. The sun is far as hell but it's also big as hell.
- Same principle as a pinhole camera kids make in science class.
  Just a bunch of pinholes.
- Basically a pinhole camera. The lens is doing the same thing as your eyeball. If your eye can see it, so can the lens.
