Hi all physhare(r)s! Yes even in Hawaii we saw a little of the eclipse - but it was at 5:56 am, and less than 40% (can't complain we had the total solar a few years ago and it was great!!). I was having a discussion with a student that watched it, and was startled to hear what (I believe) is new folklore. He watched the eclipse through an audio CD! I remember hearing once before from another student the same thing. I was quite direct in telling him that it was very dangerous to do, etc., but I honestly have never read it, just assumed that since all we ever hear of is sun peeps, welding glass, and projection, that it must not be safe... does anyone out there have any definitive information?? Thanks! _________________________________________________________________ Mark Hines | Mid-Pacific Institute mhines@quest.arc.nasa.gov | 2445 Kaala St 808-973-5099(fax) | Honolulu,HI 96822
