MAKING A SIMPLE INDIRECT PINHOLE VIEWER The only totally safe way to watch the partial eclipse is by viewing it indirectly using a form of projector.
Most health professionals recommend the simple pinhole viewer, which can be made with a cardboard box or with two pieces of stiff card.

Do not look at the sun through the hole
