With the Sun behind you, pass sunlight through a small opening (for example, a hole punched in an index card) and project a solar image onto a nearby surface (for example, another card, a wall, or the ground). A pasta colander makes a terrific pinhole projector, as does a straw hat or anything else with a bunch of small holes in it. Do NOT look at the Sun through the pinhole(s)! 2, record 1, English, - pinhole%20projection

Toutes les glaçures contiennent des éléments volatils et traversent normalement une période d'agitation pendant laquelle ces gaz se libèrent. En général on appelle «picot» les cratères solidifiés témoins de ce bouillonnement. [...] Les glaçures les plus sujettes à ce défaut sont les glaçures mates et celles que l'on sous-cuit volontairement en vue d'obtenir un certain effet esthétique. 1, record 2, French, - picot

Pour obtenir une image de bonne résolution des sources de lumière aux longueurs d'onde X et gamma, [...] on a eu l'idée de réaliser des caméras à trous d'épingle, où l'image se forme sans miroirs ni lentilles. Pour accroître la luminosité, on dispose un grand nombre de trous selon un arrangement déterminé : chaque trou forme la même image décalée sur la plaque sensible. Un traitement informatique de cette image brouillée décode l'information et reconstitue l'image de la source de lumière avec une résolution de 15' et une précision de localisation de 30" soit un progrès de deux ordres de grandeur par rapport aux moyens antérieurs. 1, record 4, French, - cam%C3%A9ra%20%C3%A0%20trou%20d%26rsquo%3B%C3%A9pingle
