Who are watching in 2024? 👇

Thank you! I will use this for the Total Eclipse for April 2024. I don't want the risks of using glasses to look directly at the sun.

Who's here for the annular eclipse on 21st June 2020?

I just tested it, and it works. The clouds around the sun looks cool. Thank you for sharing this!

Simple and effective! My son and I are enjoying today's eclipse! Thanks a lot!🎉

Of all items to use for poking a hole, a spaghetti noodle. Sheesh....

This totally works!!!!!! I built one in less than 15 minutes.. And am watching things as they happen... So Cool!!!!!!!!!!

I used a similar viewing device as this guy is demonstrating and it was like....meh. Then I saw my neighbor on her balcony and she and her family all had their eclipse viewing glasses. They invited me over and I have to say that looking through the glasses was a phenomenal experience and 100 times better than seeing a silhouette through a hole in a box. The box method just doesn't make the whole experience of a solar eclipse seem at all amazing but the live image through the glasses was truly something I will never forget.

I'M good!!I'm already about blind now..

I just made one from this tutorial. Hope it works because nowhere has glasses left!!

Your tutorial is very helpful. The best one I found. Thanks.

Great job & thanks for explaining how to use it once finished. 💯👍

Worked for me. The image is sharp and clear! Thank you :)

I was in florida WPB. the eclipse made the day a little dark, like if it were late in the afternoon. I used the box and it helped me not to look at the sun with my own eyes. thanks!

Great stuff & can't wait for the big event!! Thank you!

Thanks man ..... ! I appreciate you posting - can't find glasses and would love to share this experience with my son ....

My spaghetti broke😂

So simple and helpful. Thanks so much. My two junior astronomers are ready to go.

who came here for Dec 26, 2019's Annular Solar Eclipse?

Excellent step by step instructions.

This show box preparation is much better than the one that I followed in placing the alum foil in the center of the back panel and the viewing hole on the side. This way your hold it like binacolars. Also Don't know why people are concerned about looking broke and stupid for an historical event that millions are trying to get a look at on the same day. If you know the timing, you are only holding up the box for 5 minutes in your backyard or behind your apartment building. If others watch you because they could not get those sold out glasses, then you are teaching them a home science project.

Who is watching this on the day off the eclipse and is like aahhhhh I need the glasses I am lol Omg so many likes I didn't even see it fully so I didn't even need the glasses so disappointing so good thing I didn't make any diy glasses or buy any 😂😂

Thanks for the help man I just built my first solar eclipse box I really hope it works 🤞

Just finished mine last minute!😂hopefully my neighbors don't think I'm crazy holding up a shoe box outside like the guy @ 2:23 💀

If I go blind I'm sueing you

Just made this for April 8th 2024 eclipse, Watching from Alabama.

Im gonna look ridiculous

Thank you!! Doing this for tomorrow's eclipse 4.8.24! 🖤

Btw, if you don't have a shoe box an empty cereal box or a small packing box from a mail delivery will due. Just love these DIY hacks especially when solar glasses are sold out or other vendors are trying to profit from with knock offs on a rare event.

I seen one a few years ago and boy I tell ya it sure was dark

Worked great. Thanks!

Easy enough. Made mine. Thanks!

Thanks! Will use it to view 2020 eclipse now!! :D

I did it, it works thank you.

Worked for me :D thanks sir!

I’m here for the June 10 2021 Event

Thanks because it was like last minute and could not find any of the Solar glasses

Very Simple to do and thank you

That solar eclipse was so cool

I made this last second, and I was not disappointed

IAM watching this for observing 21st June 2020 solar eclipse and I'm very excited as it's happening after 1995

Thanks! Just made some for my kids.

Knees weak, dry spaghetti.

So cool! Thanks

Me : ok no need of adult 5 minutes later : **finger bleeding**

Who is there for 2020?

Whos watching for tomorrows eclipse

You guys can use welding lens shade #14

Solar eclipse is TOMORROWWWW!!

very clever way to do it

Thanks! Hope mine works

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?

This is so cool. By the way, for those of you who don't have a safety pin or Spaghetti strand to poke a hole in the foil, a Christmas ornament hanger is what I used. Works perfectly. Have fun, folks.

NICE VIDEO

Thanks 😊

This box actually works. Although you only get to see a tiny silhouette of the moon.

thanks fast easy no cost way to do it

I am making one of these right now

Good nice it works

I'm here for the partial solar eclipse for 2022, october 25th.

thank you!

Tried this and it worked great. I used a pin for the hole rather than spaghetti.

I'm ready!!!!!

My birthday is on the solar eclipse August 21

Thank you. =)

It actually works

Not the first time Ranger Bob punches a hole in a shoe box, not the last.

Followed instructions. Worked ok but much better clearer view if you use a smaller pin hole. I just covered spaghetti hole with small piece of tape and used the tip of a tack to make another hole. Didn't have time to replace tinfoil.

I am so excited. I hope people know how to do this, I'm so worried about people not knowing.

I remember making qthisq own 79. I'm not blind so it worked

👍Awesome

Can you stack welding lenses up to get to a 14?

I wonder if this event will have an effect on RF frequencies, like sporadic-e.. Being able to pick up analog TV and FM stations from 1000+ miles away. I had this happen once in 2007 for an entire day, picking up Texas, New Mexico, Mexico, Oklahoma from North Georgia very clearly, as if I were there. I will have to check that out also on that day.

Who is here on 25th October 2022

Thanks

Helpful

You can say it's going to burn your eyes or it "sux" but it won't burn your eyes and it's better than not having eclipse glasses

So far....all of the videos & articles I've seen.....say make a 'pinhole'. I'm going to make a 2nd viewer with a couple of larger holes.....& maybe tape the two boxes together. I've also seen a video where there's a flap that opens up on one side of the box....near the bottom. So you ( or others standing next to you ) can view the projected image thru THAT opening.

Watch everyone watching this go blind tomorrow 😂😂😂

I'll be doing this for Total Eclipse Aug 8 2024. I'm in 100% eclipse path.

I like solar eclipses

If the box already has white like yours does then do u still need a piece if white paper

A household mirror can also be used to view the eclipse. If you cover a small mirror with a piece of paper or card with a hole in it, it will project a pinhole image of the eclipse onto the far wall.

Palms are sweaty

Is there popcorn at this theater you talk about LOL 👍 THANKS

Is what im suppose to see a little bright circle when looking in ?

Is mayonnaise an instrument?

Just keep in mind old man if I go blind I'm going to come and get you !

Is there anything you can replace the aluminum foil with??

Where do I get one of those t shirts you are wearing BOB?

Also can I use my camera to get video of it or will it hurt my camera. I mean it is a 1,000 dollar camera

Is this sufficient to protect eyes during the event?

Timelapse of the Eclipse event from Atlanta GA will be posted tonight. Sub if you want to see it 4K

What if I don't have any aluminum foil is there anything else I can substitute for it?

Anyone ever try using sun paper on the projection side white paper side? Maybe putting a camera in the box and try to get an image?

Here for april 8 🤠

Can’t wait for tomorrow (October 2023)

Just made one, this shit better work

Any other thing in the place of aluminum foil?

*sees dry spaggetti* *is confused but amused*
