Galileo's lesser-known cousin found out the hard way that pointing a telescope at the sun is basically nature's eye-fryer! The concentrated solar energy turns your retinas into tiny astronomical barbecues. Early astronomers had to learn through trial and error (mostly error) that solar observation requires special filters—otherwise it's just spicy blindness with extra steps! Historical fun fact: several notable scientists actually did damage their vision this way, proving that even geniuses sometimes forget that giant nuclear fusion reactors don't make great staring contests.
