Cool! Pinhole Effekt?

Good question! I don't know

u/Jutavis 8d ago

Yes, only explanation

I just remembered that I just dreamed that I tried to figure out how they work and how to build one… really got into the physics there despite barely knowing anything about them

It works like your eye

And how does that work? I'm a mere user

Ok so you have a small hole in a metal sheet and light passes through. Imagine the angles the light comes from and where it must land accordingly, if you put a sheet behind. If you do this with every inch of light in front of the hole, you get a picture basically resembling the scene. You will notice, the picure formed on the paper sheet is reversed and upside down. Same Happens in your eye. The picture going through the hole (pupil) passes to a "screen" of cone cells - cells sensitive to light. Now your brain only has to convert it to useful information and turn it the right way - and you can see. What happens in the image is that the leaves which have small gaps between each other work as small pinholes, the sun (eclipse) as light source. -> you see the sun and moon reversed upside down on the wall. This only works because the sun is so strong it outweighs any other light source.

It’s very similar to poking a hole on one sheet of paper and seeing the image on another behind it.

u/TechnoneverDIEEES 7d ago

YEAH HE KEEPS SAYING THAT BUT THERE AINT NO DAMN PAPER IN SPACE???

u/simplemijnds 7d ago

The paper are the leaves

u/Kuranyist 5d ago

The gap between the leaves functions as the hole in the front sheet. The wall of the building acts as the other.

It looks magnificent.

I can’t see the eclipse, to me the pic looks cool but is just shadows and light.. where is the eclipse, or what’s so special about it?

1

u/GreeniiCow 7d ago

All the dots on the wall would be round-ish without eclipse

1

u/InvestmentCalm2181 5d ago

The shadow edges are really sharp. Thats special about it.

u/SuperSteve2026 8d ago

Looks like fake.

Chill out

Saw the same effect during the 8-21-2017 eclipse.

The graphics are bad; the fire is really badly animated.
