came home to find my son on my back walk with the telescope... aimed at the sun.

Apparently, tonite is when Venus will cross in front of the sun. Next time it happens will be in 105 years. Science teacher said extra credit to those who bring in photographic proof they saw it.

My kid rigged his telescope with a welding shield on the end of it, then used his grandpa's digital camera to shoot the sun. Very ingenious.

will go print it in a few.
