@science.sam: This took me 10 mins and I’m far from a DIY girlie (can you tell 🤪) Alternative to eclipse glasses: indirect viewing with a pinhole projector! ☀️🌑🌎 I know a lot of people are still scrambling for eclipse glasses, so here’s an easy DIY you can do to give yourself another way to enjoy the partial phases of the eclipse. Remember, you are not viewing the Sun through the pinhole: with the Sun behind you, it enters through the pinhole and casts its crescent shadow inside the box for you to safely look at. You can also criss cross your fingers in a waffle shape to make pinholes, or just find a leafy tree — there will be lots of crescent projections on the ground to enjoy! I’m excited to try them all 🙇🏻♀️ 🧿🤞🏼 for clear skies! Happy eclipsing — don’t burn your retinas! 🥹 #SolarEclipse #TotalSolarEclipse #Eclipse2024 #PathOfTotality #DIY #Astronomy
You’re the first person I’ve see. Actually explain how this works and that you shouldn’t use the pinhole to look at that eclipse

Good idea. I used a colander the last partial eclipse. I like your idea. Time for a craft before bed.

Either I’m stupid or this doesn’t work, didn’t see it. Maybe both are true

Can’t you just use a colander and point it towards the ground?
