EducationDIY Eclipse Activities
Safe, fun ways to experience an eclipse without looking directly at the Sun
Pinhole Projector5 minutes to make
Create a simple device that projects an image of the Sun onto a surface. Poke a small hole in cardboard, hold it up to the Sun, and watch the eclipse's progress appear on a second sheet. Safe, easy, and educational!
Colander ProjectorNo prep needed
Each hole in a kitchen colander acts as a tiny pinhole projector. During an eclipse, hold it so sunlight passes through onto a flat surface—you'll see dozens of little crescent suns as the Moon covers more of the solar disk!
Tree Shadow ViewingJust step outside
Nature makes its own pinhole projectors! The gaps between tree leaves create hundreds of tiny projections. During a partial eclipse, look at the shadows under trees—the ground will be dappled with crescent-shaped sun images.
Watch a LivestreamNo equipment needed
NASA and observatories worldwide broadcast eclipses live with professional telescopes. Perfect for cloudy weather, remote locations, or if you simply want to see close-up views of the corona you can't get any other way.
