People without eclipse glasses can still view the eclipse with a pinhole projector which can easily be made at home.

Cut a 1- to 2-inch square out of the center of a piece of plain white paper or white cardboard.

Cover the square you just cut out by taping a piece of aluminum foil over the hole.

.

Next, use a pin or thumbtack to poke a hole in the aluminum foil.

A second piece of paper or cardboard is used as the screen on which the image of the eclipse will be projected.

To view: place the screen on the ground and stand with your back to the sun, holding your projector with the foil pointed toward the sky.

Adjust the distance between your projector and the screen to make the image of the eclipse appear larger or smaller.
