A third way to project the
sun's image requires a small
mirror. Almost any kind will
do. Using a piece of paper or
posterboard, cover all the mirror
except a small hold about the
size of a dime. Now set the

eclipsed sun is INDIRECTLY
and there arc several ways to do
this. The first method of pro
jecting the sun's image is to
construct a "pinhole camera".
To do (his you will need two
index cards and a pin. Using
the pin, punch a small hole on
one of the index cards. Then
hold this card about 8-10
inches above the second card so
that the light from the sun
shines down through the hole,
projecting an image of the sun
onto the second card. The
image will be small but should
be of sufficient size for you to
view all phases of the eclipse.
Another variation of the pinhole
camera is to simply look
beneath a bush or small tree.
Sunlight filtering down between
the leaves of the tree or bush
will produce many tiny images
of the sun on the ground below.
It might help to place a piece of
posterboard beneath the tree or
bush so that the images of the
sun may be seen more clearly.
Another method or projecting
the sun's image requires a tele
scope or pair of tripod-mounted
binoculars. DO NOT LOOK
AT THE SUN THROUGH
THE BINOCULARS. THE
TELESCOPE OR THE TELE
SCOPE FINDERSCOPE. Point
the telescope or binoculars at
the sun while holding a piece of
white paper or posterboard two
or three feet behind the eyep
iece (if using binoculars, cover
on lens). Tlie sun's light will
pass through the binoculars or
telescope which will project an
image of the sun 8-12 inches
across onto the posterboard.
Move the posterboard closer to
or farther from the eyepiece to
obtain the clearest image of the
mirror up somewhere so that the
sun's light is reflected from the
small uncovered part of the
mirror onto a piece of poster-
board several feet away. This
should produce an image of the
sun one or two inches across
(depending on how close the
mirror is to the posterboard.)
Tire best image will be obtained
by setting up somewhere where
the mirror is in sunlight while
the posterboard is in the shade.
DO NO LOOK AT THE SUN'S
REFLECTION IN THE MIR
ROR.
There are several other widely
used methods of viewing the
sun that are UNSAFE. NEVER
USE: welder's glass, exposed
film, sunglasses or smoked
glass. Viewing an eclipse
directly should be done only by
or with the aid of experienced
amateur or professional astro
nomers.
Using one of the above meth
ods of projecting the sun's
image, you should now be
ready to view this weeks solar
eclipse... weather permitting!!!
