even during a partial eclipse.” NASA actually does recommend pinhole projectors as a suitable alternative. All other times require certified eclipse glasses. #Winning.Īccording to NASA, it’s never safe to look at the sun directly, and “the only time it’s safe to look at a total eclipse with the naked eye is IF you’re in the path of totality and ONLY during the minute or two of totality. It’s not quite as cool as seeing the eclipse head on with certified glasses, but hey, at least you won’t burn a hole in your retinas.
Just put a small hole in one side of the box, and use the other piece of cardboard as a screen to view the special solar action as a projection. While using a pinhole projector, your back should be toward the sun. Just make sure to turn around, bright eyes (yes, we had to throw that in there). But this is a maybe once-in-a-lifetime event, so we think you might as well get some friends together, throw a pizza party, and feel good about recycling the boxes for an awe-inspiring experience with Mother Nature that hasn’t been seen across the U.S since 1979.
