What is The Power of the Pen (and Water Bottle) in Estimating the Physics of the Solar Eclipse about?
I estimated the time for the moon to completely transit the disk of the sun during a solar eclipse using no tools beyond a water bottle with calibrated markings and a ball-point pen and no facts beyond everyday common knowledge. A remarkable agreement with the observation of 0.4% indicates that this strategy is successful at estimating the relative motion of the sun and moon as witnessed from the earth. V
