Cool! Only a scoop out of an edge here; I didn't even bother to look. Are you looking to convert to Pastafarianism, with that colander as an accoutrement?  :D

billy rubin

no

if you hold a colander under an eclipse, it acts like a multihole pinhole camera and projects lots of little eclipse images on a flat surface. my wife wanted to see it.

you can do the same thing by poking a hole in a piece of cardboard.

Billy is practicing Appalachian creativity with that colander.  :thumbsup:

We got a pic with a colander in 2017, but it's enough out of focus so as to be useless to post.

i was not impresssd by the colander either

but watching day turn into twilight in a fewd seconds was worth it

...Not to mention that it acts like a parabolic antenna and sends them alien microwaves right back at them. :smilenod:
