In addition, the fetus will be in an order of magnitude greater darkness than that unless you’re shining the flashlight in a closet or in an overcast moonless night, so their eyes will pick up much fainter things. If you were in a closet or an overcast moonless night, I imagine the light shining through your hand would seem quite bright.
How do you make a blonde’s eyes light up?
Shine a flashlight in her ear!

Huh. But don’t they say “no camera flashes” of a newborn? I thought that that was [a] reason for not casting them, so to speak, in Hollywood films. Or is that an old medical opinion?
Thank you!
Well I can credit that. A while ago, I head a conference by a researcher developing transcranial optical imaging techniques. He mentionned that if you stand in the sun, there will be enough light in your cranium to read a newspaper (I don’t know about the pineal gland though).
