DIY Pinhole Camera for Safe Solar Eclipse Viewing

With the upcoming solar eclipse, it's crucial to avoid looking directly at the sun. Instead of eclipse glasses, you can create a pinhole camera using card stock or paper and a sharp object like a sewing needle or paper clip. By making a small hole in one piece and holding it above your shoulder to project the sun's image onto another piece on the ground, you can safely view the eclipse without risking eye damage. Adjusting the distance between the two pieces can change the size of the projected image. For those feeling more ambitious, NASA offers instructions for making a pinhole projector box.
