Naked Eye
Naked eye, also called bare eye or unaided eye, is the practice of engaging in visual perception unaided by a magnifying, light-collecting optical instrument, such as a telescope or microscope, or eye protection. Vision corrected to normal acuity using corrective lenses is still considered "naked". In astronomy, the naked eye may be used to observe celestial events and objects visible without equipment, such as conjunctions, passing comets, meteor showers, and the brightest asteroids, including 4 Vesta. Sky lore and various tests demonstrate an impressive variety of phenomena visible to the unaided eye. Basic properties Some basic properties of the human eye are: *Quick autofocus from distances of 25 cm (young people) to 50 cm (most people 50 years and older) to infinity. * Angular resolution: about 1 arcminute, approximately 0.017° or 0.0003 radians, which corresponds to 0.3 m at a 1 km distance. *Field of view (FOV): simultaneous visual percepti ...

"Naked Eye" is a song by The Who, written by Pete Townshend. The studio version was released on the group's 1974 compilation album '' Odds and Sods'' (reissued in 1998). Live versions appear on '' Live at the Isle of Wight Festival 1970'', ''View from a Backstage Pass'', ''Greatest Hits Live'', ''Thirty Years of Maximum R&B'', and both reissues of ''Who's Next''. Background One of the main chord progressions in "Naked Eye" can be traced to the spring and summer of 1969 when the band was touring in support of the ''Tommy'' album. The three-chord riff (F6/9-Cadd9-G) was sometimes played during the group's very long and improvised versions of " Magic Bus" at that time, then later in expanded jams during "My Generation", as heard in the ''Live at Leeds'' version. Eventually Townshend composed an entire song around this progression. "Naked Eye" was originally planned to be released on a 1970 Who EP entitled ''6 ft. Wide Garage, 7 ft.
