Be Careful
Watching
Eclipse
Einoculars, opera glasses, tele
scopes, smoked glass, a pinhole
in a card, exposed photographic
film, welder’s goggles and even
sunglasses are NOT safe for
watching the eclipse of the sun,
Saturday, March 7.
Only by indirect methods, such
as simple projection devices and
television, can the eclipse be ob
served without risking damage to
the eyes, cautions the Georgia
Optometrie Association.
A simple “pinhole camera” can
be made by punching a clean hole
in the end of a shoebox with a
pin or needle. Cover the oppo
site end with white paper. Then
point the pinhole toward the sun
so that the rays move through
the pinhole and project a clearly
defined image of the eclipse on
the white paper.
