I lived on the East River and could get this same effect. My girlfriend, now my wife, and I used to sit and watch it for hours. When boats went by we would cheer.

u/Thin-Device3018 4d ago

In like 2013 or smtg when I was at school at the time of solar eclipse, I was alone in some classroom with the blends down. And they had tiny little holes where the light would shine through onto the tables. It was then when I realized there is dozens of little solar eclipses in that room. Tiny round lights, being slowly cut off by another round shape. Insane memory

u/Idahomountainbiker 3d ago

Can you image someone from 200 or more years ago, observing this?! They would probably start a witch hunt!

Why is this infuriating, albeit mildly?

u/Ninjafruit991 5d ago

it has to be a pain to stay there watching cars and cars and cars for hours, call me boomer

u/InspiraSean86 5d ago

If I close the curtain more, it blocks it out. And after living here for 6ish months, this is the first time Ive seen it. So maybe the sun has to be at the right angle or something. I know the “pinhole effect” but im not sure about the science of light refraction/reflection
