How to safely view the eclipse without eclipse glasses

Saturday, October 14, 2023 at 12:00 AM

A ring of fire will show up in the daytime sky on Saturday, October 14 when the Annular Solar Eclipse takes place. We can expect around 60-70% of the sun to be blocked by the moon around the Ozarks. If you don’t have solar glasses to view the eclipse, there are still safe ways to watch the ring of fire.

A Kitchen Strainer

The easiest and possibly prettiest way to view the eclipse is through the shadows of a colander. Each of the holes in the colander act as a pinhole camera and you will see dozens of little images of the crescent sun on the ground. This allows you to watch the eclipse unfold safely.

The other methods are in the article available at ozarksfirst.com.
