If you're lucky enough to live in Oregon you'll get to see a total eclipse of the sun. Partial eclipse begins at 9:05 am, with full eclipse happening at around 10:15 am Pacific Time. I'll be in San Francisco for this year's eclipse, which means I'll only see a partial eclipse. Sunglasses are not enough protection for your eyes.Ĭheck out this eclipse map to check if your area will have visibility during the August 21st eclipse. Before you get too much further in making your own viewer, it's important to remember that you should never look at the sun directly without safety equipment that is designed for looking at the sun. The sun's corona is briefly visible while the moon is directly between the sun and us on earth. When a solar eclipse happens, we see the moon's shadow completely blocking the sun.
This eclipse viewer is easy to make from a cardboard box and ordinary household items. A simple and safe way to watch a solar eclipse is to use a box pinhole projector.
