How To Make A Safe Solar Eclipse Viewer — According To NASA
==========
Looking directly at the sun during a partial solar eclipse can cause permanent eye damage or blindness. NASA recommends using safe methods to view the eclipse. If you don't have eclipse glasses, you can try making a DIY pinhole viewer using a cardboard box, aluminum foil, tape, and a pin or needle. Another method is to use your hands and fingers to create small spaces between them, which will project a grid of small images of the sun showing the sun's crescent shape. You can also use a colander, spaghetti spoon, or hole-punch to create a pinhole viewer. Holding a colander up to the sun will project dozens of images of the crescent sun onto a surface below it. Additionally, you can stand near a tree with leaves on it and look at the ground to see the tiny spaces between the leaves projecting a pattern of small images of the sun. If you find solar eclipse glasses, make sure they are undamaged and ISO-certified, and check the American Astronomical Society's vetted list of suppliers and resellers for recommended brands. NASA recommends using safe methods to view the eclipse.
