The weather? Seriously? That's fucking retarded.
If you lie on your back, and look out towards the blue sky, fix your eyes on a single spot and try not to move them, you can tell the state of various things going on in your own eyeballs.
Now, most people already know about "floaters", those broken off bits of capillary that float around in the vitreous humour (EDIT: not aqueous humour) , but this isn't about them. What you can see if you let your eyes relax, is very small white dots travelling across your vision in tortuous pathways (everywhere but the exact center of where you are looking at). If you wait and resist the temptation to try and look at them directly, you'll see additional white dots eventually following these same paths.
What you are seeing are individual white blood cells, moving across the capillaries in front of your retina. They reflect a small amount of reflected light (reflected from your retina then back at it again) because they have a nucleus and DNA, whereas red blood cells do not. The blue background is not strictly necessary, but makes them easier to see.
