Hello. The Master, Galileo Galilee looked at the sun on a floor of his house with his new telescope. He let the light pass through the new 2 lens telescope and focused by lifting it up and down. This is a great way to look at an eclipse of the sun. If your are under a tree during an eclipse look down to see the crescent sunlight as it shines through the leaves. If you have a bowl with a white inside, and hold it at the same distance as the marks on the floor, see if you can see everything in the tent. You should be able to make out the darker plants if you move the bowl around the hole slowly. Chuck.
