[–] Mz 14y ago ↗ Does anyone know of an Android-friendly site for this event?Oy. [–] markramige 14y ago ↗ Does Flash not work on your device? [–] Mz 14y ago ↗ I don't think so. And the thing jumps around and won't center on my screen properly. [–] markramige 14y ago ↗ Hmm, well the one I'm viewing is http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/nasatv_android_flash.h... on an ICS phone with flash installed. [–] Mz 14y ago ↗ Thanks! I can at least see an image. Woot!

[–] DanI-S 14y ago ↗ Watching through eclipse glasses, you really do get the sense of Venus hanging there in 3D space, all those miles away. It's pretty humbling.
[–] throwaway1979 14y ago ↗ Clouds ruined it for me. Feeling pretty down. Video doesn't do this justice :(
[–] dwc 14y ago ↗ Binocs projecting on white cardboard is working great for me. I can also clearly see sunspots. A steady hand works if you don't have a tripod.Warning! Never look at the sun through binoculars directly! Project the image onto white paper or cardboard. [–] fennecfoxen 14y ago ↗ I can confirm: Binoculars-on-a-stick is really easy and rally great. The only problem is that the darned Sun keeps moving out of alignment. Curse you, rotating-planet-Earth!(Oh. Shameless plug: https://twitter.com/fennecfoxen/status/210152019980333056 - with a barely-visible sunspot to boot.) [–] bdr 14y ago ↗ Why is one side of the circle more red and the other more blue?

Oy.
Warning! Never look at the sun through binoculars directly! Project the image onto white paper or cardboard.
