Solar Eclipse 2017: Make Your Own Eclipse Glasses with This NASA-Approved Video

Back in June, NASA was already preparing for the shortage of approved eclipse-watching sunglasses by uploading a video to show you how to safely view the eclipse!

The video – set to “Apple of My Eye” by Frederik Wiedmann – shows you how to make a pinhole camera to view the event without causing eye damage (if made and used properly).

If you didn’t know, a solar eclipse is expected to occur tomorrow (August 21) across North America, starting in Lincoln Beach, Oregon at 9:05 a.m. PDT and ending in Columbia, South Carolina at around 2:44 p.m. EDT.

Remember – you need NASA approved glasses to be able to view the eclipse without the possibility of eye damage! The video specifically states, “Do not use standard binoculars or telescopes to watch the eclipse, as the light could severely damage your eyes. Sunglasses also do NOT count as protection when attempting to look directly at the sun.”
