RE: The Eclipse and the Virgin of the Apocalypse
In addition to the mystical aspects. Solar eclipses give us the unique opportunity to make our own homemade experiments with different perforated or micro - perforated materials to see the eclipse indirectly. You also have to advise those who are going to see the eclipse to take a jacket since the temperature falls during total eclipses more than 10 degrees Celsius in minutes. Very interesting the perspective that you give to the eclipse.
I always wondered how the Chinese first started looking at the sun. My guess is, someone was hanging up some rice paper to dry and it was just thin enough to block enough of the sun to let another surface see the sunspots and other things.
I forgot to mention the cold. Ooops. Oh, well, that wasn't important to my story. ;)
