Solar Eclipse Safety

ORDER your eclipse glasses HERE!                                                                                        Back to April 8 2024 Solar Eclipse

Here’s another indirect viewing method. You can make your own eclipse projector using a cardboard box, a white sheet of paper, tape, scissors, and aluminum foil.

With the Sun behind you, sunlight will stream through a pinhole punched into aluminum foil taped over a hole in one side of the box. During the partial phases of a solar eclipse, this will project a crescent Sun onto a white sheet of paper taped to the inside of the box. Look into the box through another hole cut into the box to see the projected image. Credit: NASA
