– Why does the light from a laser pointer look “grainy”? Like it is made up of a bunch of little dots?

When I shine a laser pointer at something, the point looks like it is made of a bunch of tiny dots, how is the laser diode different from a normal LED?

No one should do this: it looks the same if you stare into the beam of a laser pointer.

 It also looks the same if you use a DSLR camera. 

It’s fascinating.

If you stare into the beam of a laser at least put a lens in front of the laser so it gets spread out to the point where it is a very weak flashlight.
