Don't ever look at the sun through a telescope

[John Wang]

I'm sure most of you know this... but some probably don't..(lookin' at you, @Jesus Freak)




Stay safe, telescope brahs.



P.S. - Happy Friday!

And if you are a pig, don't ever let a scientist near your fucking eye.

Sun isn't real, earth is flat, dinosaurs didn't exist, Ronda and Amy Schumer are or aren't beautiful, these are the things I learn from the dog

Yeah seriously, what the hell man.. This is like laser eye surgery gone wrong in a third world country.

 

[Turtlejuice]

How can telescopes be real when pig eyes aren't real?

 

[Luger]

Just use filters if you want to stare at the sun through a scope

Pretty sure you're reaching like Stretch Armstrong calling it a "monster"...

My first telescope, I fucked up.
I accidentally set the thing looking too near the sun, with no eyepiece attached.
It came with the primary mirror misaligned, so that its focus was inside the tube.

I noticed there was a problem when the smoke began pouring out of the aperture, the magnified light had set fire to the hardened cardboard tube.

Later I discovered that the primary needed to be replaced because the optical coating had melted.

Good thing I wasn't dumb enough to try looking through it at some clouds or something

No dude. It's def bigger than yours.. light years larger in size.

Damn bro, that would have sucked!! Yes luckily you didn't look through it. It would have been, goodbye, sweet eye.

Thanks for using the term correctly.

That isn't an endorsement of the measurement

Nah...I heard yours looks like it was circumcised by Edward Scissor Hands!

It was newly arrived and I was excited to set it up and inspect it. If it had been a cloudy day there wouldn't have been a problem.

 

[EvilDDS]

Is it ok though if I use a magnifying lens to direct the sun directly into my eye? Will post a vid of me trying

LOL OUCH
