Just film sun at night. Its safer

Let's appreciate the man's flex.. He not only has a girlfriend.. He has a girlfriend with a telescope.

Moral: The Sun is Aggressively shy.

A telescope and microscope are two fundamental necessities for a man who wants to learn about the world for himself.

Let's just appreciate that he used a piece of paper instead of his girlfriend's eyes.

I like how, for the demonstration, you used you girlfriend's telescope instead of your own xD.

The sun is so insane. I couldn't wrap me head around the power of it as a kid

Dang no wonder pirates wore eye patches

There is one funny joke on this subject. “You can look at the sun from a telescope twice: with your left eye and with your right eye”

For safety purposes, he turned his girlfriend's telescope into a deadly laser

New way to light up unlocked 🌞🔥💗

Let's appreciate the man's flex... His telescope has a girlfriend.

Dear Sun, you don't need a filter. You're gorgeous as you are.

I had a telescope as a small stupid kid and for some reason the thought to look at the sun with it never crossed my mind. Thank God.

Lmao. Gotta use your girlfriend's telescope so that you dont potentially ruin your good one 😂😂😂

Be careful using a post magnification filter. I cooked my focuser so now it thumps when i focus my telescope. I only use a pre-filter now to protect my telescope.

Never let me near a telescope during the day because my intrusive thoughts will win

The ignition temperature of paper is 451°F. There's kind of a popular book about it.

So glad that there are people like this that do videos to show us things that we normally wouldn't even know exists! Thank You!

I didn't know there was any explanation needed for this... It's one of the first two things you learn as a human.

That solar flare was sick

That telescope probably cost more than my house

The sun is preparing the year 2025 so badly ☠️

THAT SCOPE IS SO RAD !!

Let's just talk about the fact that your telescope is so fancy that it has its own robotic arm. That thing probably costs more than my entire net worth. ☠️

One time, I stayed up all night wondering where the sun went... then it dawned on me

A fantastic yet simple demonstration. Nice one.

It's 451 degrees Fahrenheit, there's even a book named Fahrenheit 451 about burning paper. 451F = 212C

".. Pointing my girlfriend's telescope... " Brooo 💀

The sun seems well, I'm glad

I look directly at the sun around sunset with polarized sunglasses all the time. I stare and its quite beautiful.

The fact it can zoom PAST the atmosphere is just astonishing.

We've all looked at the sun with the naked eye for several seconds 'AS KIDS' just to see the magical twinkling after lights.

Excellent video!! I have an average $500 telescope. I decided to buy filters from Amazon because they were inexpensive. One of them was nearly black and was to be used to look at the sun. I put it in the eye piece as instructed. I waited until the sun was just at about the horizon at dusk so the sun wasn’t so intense. So I put the filter on and rather than just look into the scope, I decided to use the cell phone adapter instead. THANK GOD I did that. As I was putting my phone on the telescope I heard a loud “pop”. I then instantly seen smoke….like a little trail kind of like what comes out of an old toy train set. I quickly took the phone off the telescope but it was too late. The sun must have been so intense, it expanded the black glass on the filter and it basically exploded….then the focused light hit the camera lens on my eye phone and melted it making it start to smoke. Destroyed my phone. I took a picture with my wife’s phone of the filter and posted it on Amazon in the reviews. Had I looked with my eye instead of the phone, I’d be totally blind today. All I can say is never trust any filter or set up no matter what. Cheap Chinese shit. I bet someone has lost an eye along the way. It is so dangerous it’s not funny. I’ll look at other peoples sun photography…,I’ll never try that shit again. Can’t imagine what it would have done had it been high noon….I was using it at sunset!

nah man theres a tornado dancing in the sun💀💀💀💀

I just love the idea the he bought a solar filter and then searched around until he found a girlfriend that owned a fitting telescope.

The last shot of the sun is freakin epic bro. Definitely keep it up cuz those are shots major league and just shows how amazing the universe is.

imagine the first person to see the sun without the solar filter and then he invented

Fun fact that fire storm was bigger then the entire earth

AT FIRST I THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO PUT CAMERA IN THIS TELESCOPE 😂😂

I did this once even when I knew not to and i went blind for like 5 seconds

That’s a pretty badass telescope

Thanks for showing that! Great demonstration and views of the sun!

Fun fact - Galileo saw directly through telescope and last one eye.

His girlfriend bought the telescope to keep an eye on him

Also, avoid cheap eyepiece filters, crappy ones can explode. Get a good filter. Also inspect the filter before using it; a scratch might impair it seriously.

For a second it sounded like he was gonna prank his girlfriend 😂

I like how the eyepiece was glowing white as if you had a portal to Hell in that telescope.

The ignition point of paper in old fashioned farnenhite is actually "Farenhite 451" there was a book and film about it.

Virgin telescope attachments vs Chad with an eye patch after seeing the sun the way god intended

That's why I bought sunglasses

its so cool when you realize those flares are the size of multiple earths

Like one of my Optical Line Systems lecturers said: " never look at the end of a fibre optic cable with your remaining working eyeball."

Love how he used his gf telescope 😂

Sun be like- I am too hot to handle... Not everyone,can afford me...

"Aww would ya look at that" Someone should've told Ed Bassmaster

“My girlfriend’s telescope,” good one 😂

I look directly at the sun when it's night time.

That demonstration was low-key terrifying

A solar filter on the aperture of the telescope is much safer. Temperatures in the scope can get quite high when the filter is on the eyepiece.

That is an awesome setup, I'd love to be able to have something like that. The planets and stars don't look how they show us they do, far more beautiful than they show us.

Paper burning was enough for me imagining my eyeballs cooking in the oven at 500°C was extra.

With the right lense setup you can actually see the sunspots on the sun projected onto a piece of paper and if held still enough, will imprint/burn the image onto the paper like a painting. The lenses dont usually last though.

It gets even a little scarier because your eyes have their own lenses that focus it even more!

Wow! Thanx for the demo, & the nice video of the sun (that I'm sure no one has ever seen)! 👍👍👍👊

That the Sun is just this huge nuclear reactor that we are circling around is a very strange thought

"What happens when you point your telescope at the sun?" You start questioning whether your parents are siblings.

"Not gonna be too fun for your eyeballs." No, it'll be exhilarating.

No one is going to look through that for more than a fraction of a second, I’m sure you would feel it

Phoebe once said "My eyes, my eyes!!!!'

Dude your girlfriend is gonna be pissed that you messed up the tube and lenses, best of luck

the sickest part is the way it just positions itself at the sun :O

If you saw sun from your eyesballs then they become "fireballs" in couple of seconds 😂

The atmosphere is what makes the sun spread equilibrium in the earth

My professor was telling me they made a contraption that used the suns sunlight energy to melt through half a foot inch steel in a matter of minutes. They used thousands of mirrors that all aimed to do so. Absolutely wild

The fact that pointing a modern telescope into the sun could literally burn paper makes this shit more intimidating to use

Great view of the sun's magnetic plasma arcs

Interesting, smart way to continue the thought of "never look at the sun". That telescope basically did everything

her telescope 300, his solar filter 1500

I just look at the sun with my Snapchat filter

I’m glad he’s messing with his girlfriend’s telescope and not destroying his own stuff. That wouldn’t be cool.

That’s a awesome looking telescope you got there. This video was awesome. Thank you for sharing.

Why you should never point your girlfriend's telescope at the son: "Why don't you take a seat? I'm Chris Hansen with Dateline NBC."

Jesus that telescope setup is sick I can only imagine how expensive that has to be

i can’t believe lance armstrong walked on that

Destroying his girlfriends telescope by pointing it to the sun 😂

It’s hard to get a shot of planets bc of these clouds 😂

Did you know that nighttime only occurs because Chuck Norris stares at the sun until it looks away? True story

Galileo discovered this effect the hard way.

The little voice in my head would of told me to put my eye really close to the looking portion of the scope to see what happens

451 degrees Fahrenheit to be precise.

Anyone who looks at the sun through an unfiltered lens deserves the Darwin award.

I was once looking at girl's hostel for some reason with binoculars and by mistake the sun came in bet and in less than a sec my eyes learned a lesson...

The very moment it fails, your new pirate life will start

I had a magnifying mirror on my kitchen table. It caught the sun's reflection and set my retro vinyl kitchen chair on fire. Never leave any kind of magnifying glass, eyeglasses, or curved makeup mirrors in the area of a sunny window. And don't litter. Glass bottles have started forest fires this same way.

That’s not the sun. That’s me burning my steak dinner on the bbq.

That ghost on sun wants some privacy

I don't see any problem... I don't see anything else...

"don't look at the sun through a telescope" *Proceeds to setup telescope pointing at the sun and lets the beam cross right past his face as he walks by*

Mom : Son why is your one eye looking so black? Me : Nothing mom I was just looking the sun.. 💀💀
