How to Safely View the Solar Eclipse
Approved Eyewear
Protect your eyes by using eclipse glasses approved by NASA or the American Astronomical Society. Get a filter for your smartphone camera as well.
Hand Viewing Method
Use your hands to view the eclipse: Overlap your fingers with one hand vertical and the other horizontal, creating a crosshatch pattern. Your fingers should act like a pinhole camera, allowing sunlight to stream through and project the eclipse onto a surface.
Alternative Methods
For safe alternative ways to view the eclipse, try:
- Watching the light pass through tree leaves
- Peering into a modified cereal box with a pinhole
