If you don’t have access to protective eyewear, consider using the pin-hole projection technique. This involves creating a grid of small images on the ground by crossing the outstretched fingers of one hand over the other, with your back to the sun. Alternatively, you can follow NASA’s guide to craft a projector using cardstock and aluminum foil or use a kitchen colander to project a pinhole and watch the moon’s progression across the sun.
Don’t miss this extraordinary celestial dance between the sun, moon, and Earth. And be prepared, protect your eyes, and savor the spectacle of the shadow on the sun.
