Can anyone explain to me how pinhole projection works in general, and for the solar eclipse? I am working on creating a program and feel like I kind of understand but not well enough to teach others. eli5
In: Planetary Science
Pinhole projection is analogous to photographing the sun through a tiny hole. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes in front of the sun; this can be seen via a pinhole on a surface behind it, much like a shadow play. Observing the eclipse safely involves avoiding direct sunlight exposure.
