Gallery | Solar Eclipse May 20 2012 | Ceiling eclipse and the lens flare

Small telescopes are great for projecting the image of the Sun onto a wall or ceiling, which is what Twitter user ingrum did... but also got a bonus! The bright sunlight coming in through the window created a lens flare, a reflection inside his camera. Much dimmer than the direct sunlight itself, you can see a perfect little eclipsed Sun in the reflection!
