See, now this is the kind of nice, light-hearted thread that we need! (And which I'm also winning by the way!)
Coastman's Tip of the Day: Don't look directly at the sun or you could cause lasting damage to you eyes.
Never fear Insomniac, if you still want to observe the sun here's what to do:
Coastman's 2nd Tip of the Day: You can easily and safely observe the Sun by projecting it through a tiny hole onto a white sheet of paper.
You'll need: 2 sheets of stiff white paper, a pin and a sunny day.
Punch a hole in the centre of one the paper sheets. Go outside, hold the paper up and aim the hole at the Sun. (Don't look at the Sun through the hole!) Move the other piece of paper back and forth until the image is in focus. Or you could do the same using a pair of binoculars to project the Sun.
Being an insomniac, I was going to suggest that you could do this if you were up in the middle of the night and a bit bored. But of course it would be dark.
