That will occur in the middle of a partial solar eclipse lasting a few hours.
Here’s how to make solar eclipse glasses—and why there are many other, much safe ways of observing the sun.Nobody should be making their own solar eclipse glasses from things they find around the home. “Don’t do it,” said Dr. Ralph Chou, the world’s leading expert on eclipse eye safety who wrote the, in an interview. “Yes, there’s a lot of aluminized polyester in consumer packaging, but it doesn’t have the density or the quality that you need to make a good optical filter.

The safest way to view the solar eclipse if you don’t have solar filters is indirectly. Essentially you watch a projection of the sun rather than the sun itself. You can do that by using a pair of binoculars and a tripod toor simply project the sun through the holes of a kitchen colander or slotted spoon onto a plain surface. Even more simply, stand beneath a tree and the leaves will filter crescent suns onto the floor.
