I'm a huge fan of old cameras. I'm not talking about photographic cameras, but video cameras. In digital cameras, phones, and webcam, there is either a CCD or a CMOS sensor that translates light into an image digitally.
But before those, they used video tube to do the same job in an analog format. And these tubes were very sensitive to light. If they swept across a very bright light source, you could burn-out the tube (circuitry was develop to counter this) or have comet tails, where you have large streak of color behind a light source. And the tailing in this video... I love it!

Enjoy the huge blooms of green, blue, and the red/purple comet tails!
From their debut single, here is "Rock Lobster" from The B-52s. Remember them?
We were at the beach; everybody had matching towels! Somebody went under a dock
and there they saw a rock!
