This is what happens when you point your telescope at the sun without a proper filter!

Let's appreciate the man's flex..
He not only has a girlfriend..
He has a girlfriend with a telescope.

A telescope and microscope are two fundamental necessities for a man who wants to learn about the world for himself.

Let's just appreciate that he used a piece of paper instead of his girlfriend's eyes.

There is one funny joke on this subject. “You can look at the sun from a telescope twice: with your left eye and with your right eye”

[aaronjessome]

The sun is so insane. I couldn't wrap me head around the power of it as a kid

[kimr]

So glad that there are people like this that do videos to show us things that we normally wouldn't even know exists! Thank You!

Dear Sun, you don't need a filter. You're gorgeous as you are.

I had a telescope as a small stupid kid and for some reason the thought to look at the sun with it never crossed my mind. Thank God.

Be careful using a post magnification filter. I cooked my focuser so now it thumps when i focus my telescope. I only use a pre-filter now to protect my telescope.

Dang no wonder pirates wore eye patches

[msredfox]

For safety purposes, he turned his girlfriend's telescope into a deadly laser

[edfort]

I like how, for the demonstration, you used you girlfriend's telescope instead of your own xD.

[ColdFuse]

Lmao. Gotta use your girlfriend's telescope so that you dont potentially ruin your good one 😂😂😂

[soccerlove_dad]

I look directly at the sun around sunset with polarized sunglasses all the time. I stare and its quite beautiful.

The ignition temperature of paper is 451°F. There's kind of a popular book about it.

[kevinsmith]

Never let me near a telescope during the day because my intrusive thoughts will win

Let's appreciate the man's flex...
His telescope has a girlfriend.

[Holmesy]

A fantastic yet simple demonstration.
Nice one.

[darkness]

That telescope probably cost more than my house

[SM-yqdr]

That is an awesome setup, I'd love to be able to have something like that. The planets and stars don't look how they show us they do, far more beautiful than they show us.
