    I love the concept of black holes. They’ve always been interesting to me.

    Why could I only see the solar eclipse when I played around with the contrast and lighting on my camera?

    how long does it take for an eclipse to cause permanent damage to ones eyes? Is it permanently damaging if someone looks for even a split second?

    Will we be able to see the shadow rapidly approaching if we are looking south west right before totality?
