Safe Solar Viewing: Pinholes and Filters Advised
Observers should avoid directly viewing an annular eclipse as partial exposure can cause blindness within seconds. Use high quality filters or project the sun indirectly with a pinhole viewer. Create a small pinhole in foil over cardboard and project onto a second surface for group viewing.
