The Symphony of Science is a musical project of John D Boswell, designed to deliver scientific knowledge and philosophy in musical form. The project owes its existence in large measure to the classic PBS Series Cosmos, by Carl Sagan, Ann Druyan, and Steve Soter, as well as all the other featured figures and visuals. Continuation of the videos relies on generous support from fans and followers. You can make a donation if you wish to contribute support to the project. Thanks to everybody who has donated - enjoy what you find!
There are several ways you can observe the Sun, and hopefully sunspots, for yourself. The easiest and safest is to project the Sun by building your own pinhole camera. Or, if you have your own telescope, you will need to obtain a solar filter. There are even solar telescopes online, which you can access via the web to observe the Sun.
"First, you should firmly fix the binoculars to a tripod. You can
do this with duct tape (what else?).
Now,cut out a cardboard shield and tape it to the front of the
binoculars with the lenses sticking through holes.
Then, put the lens cap over one of the large binocular lenses or
tape over one of the front lenses with duct tape. (You really only need one
lens.)"
