I didn’t have any eclipse-viewing glasses

So I’m doing this old-school

Modified cardboard box built out of crap lying around my house

Poke a tiny hole in one end, tape some paper for a viewing screen on other, and …

… voila, a camera obscura

I use something like this seven or eight years ago to see an eclipse, it worked really well

Photograph of a cardboard box that is completely sealed except for a 3 inch strip along one edge. When you Pierre inside the open area, you see a piece of white paper taped to the flat inner surface, and in the center of that piece of paper, a small glowing dot, which is a reflected image of the sun
