- Watching an eclipse? Save your eyeballs -- rig up a sweet viewing set-up with some help from this video.
Remember never look directly at the sun without certified sun glasses or a #14 Welder's mask. Instead look at the projected image of the sun on a screen with the help of a few simple house hold objects.

Shivam sky high i can FaceTime you
The image of the woman with the colander in front of her face is unfortunate. If someone interprets that as an instruction to look toward the Sun through the holes in the colander they are in danger of burning their retinas in multiple places.
Also: Projecting the Sun through binoculars as shown could ruin the binoculars. Sunlight will be concentrated in the eyepieces and the resulting heat could crack the eyepieces. No telescope or binocular should be pointed at the Sun unless there is an appropriate filter in front of it (that is, at the big end).
That's the creativeness of liberalism. It's quirky. Embrace it. Celebrate it.
Good catch! We've updated the image!
You still showing the image at 0:11 of the video, i thought for a minute I could see the eclipse like that
Valam Van der Sar that's what I thought also. Luckily, I watched till the end. That image is misleading.
@@skunkbearHi
The solar eclipse is gonna happen during my 2nd and 3rd period class. My 2nd period teacher is very nice, my 3rd period teacher is a science teacher, and I got a small yet good way to see the solar eclipse. Solar eclipse, I'm ready!
same
Thank you, NPR
Why am I watching this after the eclipse?😂
Madison Alexis S. same
Madison Alexis ...haa haa.me too....
I am ayan from india....u r from?
Madison Alexis cause your broed
Madison Alexis maby your waiting for the next next ecplise
i don't know haha
anyone for 21st june eclipse
Me🙋
Me also from ap u
Wish we could just look at it directly...it doesn't look the same on a screen 😩
this is great, thank you!
Love the binoculars suggestion
I remember making the DYI portable eclipse glasses when i was a kid -- haha and when i was tracking sun spots in astronomy lab -- pretty dope
I just made the portable camera obscura and tested it out. It works great!
i am really excited about watching Solar eclipse! Kids remember this year, 2020
- love from India
Can we see it from phnom Penh Cambodia?
Excellent informative video.
Be careful watching the eclipse! I was using the box-helmet method and someone groped me while my guard was down!
Luckily I was groped by a beautiful woman, but your luck may vary!
Alex Silverman same but I got groped by a smelly old man
wait what
I think it's sweet you think your mom is beautiful.
lol xd SMELLY OLD MAN XDDDDD LMAO
Alex Silverman and you're telling us your dreams because...?
I couldn't stop crying during the eclipsthe. It was so beautiful. The only problem was that I cried the entire eclipsthe and I missed it!
there's one coming on 4 December
IM GONNA WALK AROUND WITH A BOX ON MY HEAD XD
moonn kills everything xD 😂
😂😂 !!!
Who is here for 21st June 2020 eclipse?
Me!!!🙌
i just ate my carboard box whoops now gotta get some sunnglasses
Flipping brilliant
The solar eclipse will happen today! Yaaaay!
I used the three 3D glasses and one regular sunglasses, taped those together, and then I used those glasses you get after going to the dentist or after eye surgery, and wore two of those, combined the two contraptions and I got a safe way to view the eclipse.
My friend didn’t have enough time to prepare for the eclipse so he just took 12 pairs of sunglasses lying around and stacked them over his face
did it work?
YES DID IT WORK WE NEED ANSWERS!!
I feel like this wouldn't work very well. If they're polarized and they're misaligned at all, you'll probably see nothing. If they're polarized and aligned well, it would be light looking through 12 panels of glass, but a bit dimmer. I'm guessing it wouldn't block enough light / I'm assuming they would have suggested it if it was a legit option to just stack glass and/or sunglasses until the sun gets dim.
🤣😂🤣😂
Thank you!
Solar eclipse in northern europe today. Thanks for the tips.
ADAM COLE BAYBAYY!!
I heard you can look at the eclipse with the naked eyes but once the moon is totally blocking the sun?
Yea, but only when the moon is totally covering the sun.
yes thats right do not look at it when the moon is crossing the sun.You can if you have ISO eclipse glasses.But when it gets dark.You can look to the sky.Without Worring.I know maybe i'm in 4 grade but i sure do know alot
That's right! But you've got to be watching the sun some other way to know when that moment comes. (Or just have a friend with glasses tell you)
Yes. It has to be 100% covered, and then it will be just as safe as looking at the moon at night.
First though, you have to be in the path of totality to view a total eclipse. Everywhere else in the country, you'll just be getting a partial eclipse, and you'll always have to be under some protection against the sun of some sort.
Of course. Totality can't be seen through filters because it's so weak and dim.
If you have binoculars, you can use them to look at the totality, but it has to be totality. NOT A SINGLE part of the Sun can be visible. Not Baily's beads, not diamond ring effect.
Using binoculars to view the totality gives you an opportunity to see the beautiful details of the corona, chromosphere, prominences.
This video better explains many ways to view an eclipse (or the sun) and how it works :)
Never thought I'd have to say this but I guess I'm going out as an Amazon box!
Do sunglasses work?
@@kurt2971 No you need special eclipse glasses, sunglasses won't protect your eyes from burning if you look directly at it
Today I’m going to see a solar eclipse!!!! So excited !!! But I need to make something so that I can safely view it .
Solar eclipse today I'm excited!
You can make the solar glasses yourself, if you have the certified solar filter material, which you can buy from astronomy/telescope stores. Or just make a rectangular eclipse viewer card.
If you have a shoebox, make a shoebox solar viewer!
ok im new when it comes to this whole solar eclipse thing can you watch it on your computer because on the web they be saying if you look at it your gonna lose your eye sight...but i just wanna be safe...
thanks...
my grandma has 3 welding masks so I don't have to look dumb with a box on my head.
I can look dumb with a welding mask on my head.
Today eclipse I am excited
I watched with my eyes and I was fine at long as you dont stare at the Sun you'll be fine to look several times but I have to admit my eyes where abit sensitive momentarily but nothing crazy
Is it possible to watch the eclipse on video?
I don't need to see it, _I can hear it_
6. Staring standoff with the Sun
This is the first eclipse that is going to appear in my country i don't think the whole 21st sentury solar eclipses appeared here lol
What I want to know, and no one seems to answer is, can I look at the eclipse reflected onto a window? So, I would be standing outside, not looking directly at the sun but at its reflection.
Can I use my front facing camera, like I'm taking a selfie?
chickenbro5 u could end up ruining your camera
I fail to understand the "ruining your camera" argument. Does a solar eclipse cause a brighter light or something? I don't think so, and last time I checked, I've aimed my phone's camera at the sun before.
Will #13 work for the welder mask?
I would do the box thing
I'll watch it on TH-cam
Use Dark XRay Sheet to view directly #2022
I You Have A Selfie Cam You Can Watch It That Way
Is it safe to look at the sun during sunsets?
Sir wat can we use in the place of aluminium foil
I look at the sun all the time and never experienced anything more than a maximum of 10 minutes of messed up vision. I'm just going to look at it directly. At least I'll have a cool story to tell people how I went blind. The last thing I ever saw....
nsmc99 are you serious? Man i totally don't recommend that....
...but if I couldnt convince you and you do it anyways tell me how it went
How could he if he does go blind?
Sub Zero YT doesn't matter anymore. I did it. Nothing happened
Pety .... no you can see the effects immediately or after a few weeks just cuz nothing happened now doesn't mean you didn't permantly damage your eyes
Why is the picture of sun tooooo small when I use my binoculars?
I just look directly, with one eye closed at a time, for 30 seconds. I saw it on Ross creations TH-cam
How about use a camara and turn it on to wacth it
Would a welding mask beyond 14 work?
Sinister yes
The only "beyond" shade is #15 but that applies to UV only and exists as a part of some autodarkening welding filters.
As for the visible light, #14 is the highest there is.
You can use #13, too, but the image is too bright for some people, especially if you hold it right close to your eyes and you're shielding the daylight by your hands.
Don't use #12 or lower. It's not safe.
I used 12 and it was fine, although it was away from my face.
Can you use a mirror to take pictures
Today i'm gonna be seeing solar eclipse for the first time from southeast europe 😍
Are red light glasses safe to view eclipse?
Adam Cole BAYBAY
i also seeing first time
Today is the solar eclipse event for me in America
Can use 3d glass
Also dont forget your sunscreen if there is no shadow were u are cuz i get sunburned easily...
Your name is Adam Cole!
I have a welding mask
1:28 how come you put the pinhole in the middle while every other video puts the pinhole on the edge?
How to use colander please?
I wanna make a camera obscura! What about the base of the box? Do we leave it completely closed w/ just enough room for my head to get inside or is ok to leave it open?
How about the pinhole? What's is the optimal size?
you can serch up how to watch an eclipse with a cereal box its really easy
You don't want much light to get in, so it's a good idea to make the head hole as small as possible. We put some cloth around the opening that we could bunch up around the neck and shoulders like a scart, to keep the light out. As for the pinhole, it's good to experiment! A small hole (like the size of a literal pin), will make a very sharp image, but it will be darker and so harder to see. A larger hole (pea-sized) will let in lots of light, but it will produce a fuzzy image. I'd start small, and test your box on the sun today and tomorrow. If it looks too dark, make the hole a bit bigger. If you use tinfoil like we did on the pinhole end, it's easy to tape on holes of different sizes. Good luck!
ITS ADAM COLE BAY BAY!
10-14-23...looking at eclipse and hopefully for the Lord's return! ❤🙏🕊
Hello
Big question!! Am I safe to wear my eclipse glasses over my regular glasses or are there extra steps I need to take to modify them or something? Please help so I don't blind myself!!
+Zach Robison that should be fine - just don't tilt your head to look through the crack between the glasses and your face (which would be a weird move anyway) and you should be fine
Skunk Bear Thank you so much for the quick reply! Enjoy the eclipse :D
has anyone heard of the soot on glass method? thinking i might do it that way but is it recommended?
It's an incredibly dangerous method that variably blocks visible, but passes a huge amount of infrared rays that you can't see and don't have a blink response for. It's how many people caused retinal damage. DO NOT use that.
+Liz Lopez What Lajos said
I saw the eclipse 😱
Thanku now i can watch solar eclipse from NEPAL
Will the sun ruin the binoculars in the binocular method
+Nomis Gaming Nope!
For me it's tomorrow
I looked at it for 2 seconds, am I okay?
I'd if I had a box I would be doing this
It's not working ☹️
Can't I just record the sun with my phone and watch through that?
Lets say, even with a giant ass box on my head? LOL
Kendon Chase that would be safe. I heard you can ruin your lense doing that, but I can't verify that. But the video's gonna look like garbage
I can't wait it's tomorrow ETHIOPIA
Im will look without tool I'll let everyone know the results. I wont stare at it just look an glance
I want to watch it I'm in Pittsburgh pa ughhh forgot to get glasses so I need another way to watch it safely
@ALLQUEEN51 I watched with my eyes and I was fine at long as you dont stare at the Sun you'll be fine to look several times but I have to admit my eyes where abit sensitive momentarily but nothing crazy
likes
just treat the eclipse like Medusa
I viewed it today through x ray film
I'm gonna use number 9 wilders mask because I have no time left so it's my only option.
Number 9 is ABSOLUTELY DANGEROUS as it passes around 150 times more light than #14. You'll injure your retina.
DO NOT do that.
It's not your only safe option. The video just explained you how to project the image on a piece of paper. Don't be stupid.
+radioactive wolfs carnivorous plants Please do not - you have time to punch a hole in a card - the simplest option! Use that to monitor the eclipse, and then you can look up during totality with your naked eyes!
can you make the pin hole bigger? I what to see the size of the sun a lot bigger than this
What if the welding mask is level 10?
Emilio Garcia No!!! 12 and up!!!! 12 is the bare bare minimum.
#10 (or DIN10, same thing) is absolutely not enough and downright dangerous for looking into the Sun. However, if that's all you have, you can stack two pieces. Maximum #10 transmittance for visible light is 0.023%. For #14, it's 0.00044%. Two #10s are therefore between #13 and #14. That should do the trick.
You can wear a pair of sunglasses with the hood, they are usually about a 3.
Lajos Winkler that would make it a 20 and u can't c anything out of it
We don't sell anything of those
I have a question and I hope someone will answer it. So I will start school on the day of the eclipse. How can I see it? Can i take a video on my tablet and the view it? Or is that dangerous?
+elvira yisel rivera if you've ever taken a picture of the moon with your tablet, you probably were disappointed - it usually shows up as a very pale dot. Tiny! The same will be true of an eclipse. Plus, before the sun is totally covered, pointing your tablet directly at the sun for more than a moment might permanently damage the camera's sensor. See if you can bring some solar glasses to school and see if your teacher will let you take a few minutes to enjoy this rare view! And remember, during totality you can look directly at the eclipse
what you can do is take your moms camera,phone ir tablet or your own Tape the video without seeing the ecipse cuz u can go blind.Then when the eclipse is over see the video
Thanks for answering!! Oh, can the eclipse damage a dogs eye to? I Mean, I Know They Dont Necessary Look Up But, Will They?
Thanks for answering!! What I thought taking a video of it will damage the lens?
+elvira yisel rivera your welcome.Ummm by the way..It does damage your lenses but there is another way.Get your tablet and search up how to ser the eclipse with a cereal box.They are really cool i ideas and are really easy to make and you probaly have the things at ur house!
Or you could use an X-ray sheet.
Can I selfie-video the eclipse? Willit ruin my phone camera?
+Matthew I've heard conflicting things in this - but it sounds like most phones would be fine. Still the resolution will be terrible - the sun will be a tiny dot. Good enough to monitor the sun, though, so you can know when totality hits and look directly
But would about six pairs of dark sunglasses do the trick?
Oh yes… a once in a lifetime opportunity. I know! Let's poke a hole in some card board and watch the shadow! The whole time staring directly away from the Eclipse itself
+Just Josh Well, you'd be watching the light not the shadow. And you could look up once totality hits. Plus, you won't be blinded. A good trade off.
Just Josh you do realizes there's going to be more eclipses right?
Some may require travel though
Did you never look at the Sun directly? Don't I say for hours, but only a few instants.
fun fact about the camera obscura I did a whole thing about this. It was invented by Cornelius drebbel vancoobson
I made a pinhole box viewer out of a Priority Mail box measuring 10" x
7" x 4.75"...I used a 3/4" pvc pipe coupling as a viewer hole and
aluminum foil for the pinhole. I tested it and see that the sun's size
is very small-about 1/8' diameter. How big should the pinhole be?
Pinhole I have is approx. 1/32" diameter-what would be best diameter to
use? Does a bigger hole make for better image size?
No one ever answered you, but no. A bigger hole will only allow more light in.
For a BIGGER image you would need magnifying lenses.
