Explanation:
During the day, over 12,000 large mirrors reflect sunlight at the 100-megawatt, molten-salt, solar thermal power plant at the western edge of the Gobi desert near Dunhuang, Gansu Province, China. Individual mirror panels turn to track the sun like sunflowers. They act as a single super mirror reflecting the sunlight toward a fixed position, the power station's central tower.

Back to the pinhole camera from the Double Helix tree's rather large leaves.

It allows you to make extended semi-direct observations of the sun without any danger.. There's also no technology or AI intermediary.

If you had an actual phone or camera, you could take a HD picture of this aperatured solar phenomenon & enhance (ENHANCE! ENHANCE, damnit!)

The odd thing (at first) about pinhole cameras, camera obscuras or aperatures of any type is that they flip the image. This can be in addition to mirrors 🪞 in compound microscopes 🔬 that...mirror the image.
