You project the image of he sun on to a white card placed in front of the eyepiece of a telescope or monocular. Point the scope at the sun WITHOUT looking through it and move the card until you see the Sun's disc. Unfortunately the Sun is very quiet at the moment which is puzzling solar astronomers since there are hardly any spots on it's surface.

PS The transit of Venus can be studied with this arrangement and is going to reoccur in a couple of years time I think

What is blind observation?

In the context of research, blind observation means collecting data without knowing the purpose of the study or the expected outcomes. This approach is used to reduce potential biases and ensure data is collected objectively.

What is sunspotting?

Sunspotting is the activity of observing and tracking sunspots on the surface of the sun. Sunspots are dark, cooler areas on the sun's surface caused by intense magnetic activity. Tracking sunspots helps scientists study solar activity and predict space weather.


What is the different between single blind study and double blind study?

In a single blind study, the subject being studied does not know whether he is part of the experimental group or control group, but the researcher recording the results does know. In a double blind, neither the subject nor the observer knows to which group in the experiment the subject belongs.
