All right, this is super interesting. Check this out. So, this guy has like an ND filter that he puts over his, uh, camera and then he zooms in on the sun.
And check this out. Okay, so there's the ND filter. All right, now he's going to start zooming in and zooming in with the Nikon P1000. That's the one that I guess they discontinued for some reason. I wonder why. Check it out. Zooms in. Zooms in. Boom.
All these little black dots. And he says that every time that he does this, those black dot thingies, they're always there, but they're in like different places. What do you make of that? Is it real? Y'all let me know.YouTube transcript reformatted at textformatter.ai.
There is a mighty host in the sun.

who discovered sunspots?
The discovery of sunspots is attributed to multiple astronomers who independently observed them through telescopes around 1610–1611. Johannes Fabricius is credited with the first published account in 1611 (De Maculis in Sole Observatis), and he was the first to demonstrate that sunspots were features on the Sun’s rotating surface.
Other key figures in the early discovery and study of sunspots include:
Galileo Galilei and Thomas Harriot, who made early independent observations around 1610.
Christoph Scheiner, who observed sunspots in 1611 and engaged in a famous priority dispute with Galileo.
Johannes Kepler, who observed a spot in 1607 but mistakenly identified it as a transit of Mercury.
While ancient Chinese records date back to at least 28 BCE, these naked-eye observations were rare and often misinterpreted due to the prevailing Aristotelian belief in a perfect, unchanging heavens.
AI-generated answer. Please verify critical facts.
It’s Ed Sullivan.
Sunspots? He’s describing sunspots, right? Sunspots have been known about for centuries.
The general population score on common knowledge continues to plummet.
Beat me by a country mile!
It is only guaranteed to filter visible light, not ultraviolet or infrared. Those can still pass through unfiltered and damage your camera or your eyes if you are looking at the sun directly. Buy a real solar filter.
Thanks!
Camera Obscura, still the best. While a preschooler, I saw my first solar eclipse that way.
I shutter to think how bad it's gonna get.
The YouTuber needs more brushing up than the lens does.

Dust NEVER makes an image. It can only reduce effective aperture or blur the image. Dust can NEVER be focused.
...and yet another Bible verse taken from context and misapplied.
I have noticed quite a few YouTube videos similar to this, a sad commentary on common knowledge today.
