    the point is, to not look directly at the sun - not ever, but ppl tend to want to look during an eclipse. the shadow of the sun is perfectly safe- again, the shadow of the sun is perfectly safe! turn your back to the sun, and use this cereal box method or a show box or whatever works best for you!!
