Fun eclipse fact, the dappled light under trees will show the eclipse. Many of the light spots are actually pinhole views of the sun. Normally they are perfectly round, in an eclipse they look like little moons going through their phases as the eclipse progresses. Fantastic to see a hundred little eclipses on the sidewalk.

You can actually see a picture of it on the wikipedia article for pinhole cameras: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinhole_camera
