Yes, you can find super expensive top of the line gear for watching the eclipse online. However, is it worth it? Do you really want to spend all that money for a chance encounter that you may or may not be able to see? You don’t want to do that! Especially when there are ways to make some pretty cool devices with stuff you probably already have at home.
Additionally, there are some cheap options you can get online. But, if you’re here it’s probably too late even for Amazon to deliver on time. However, that doesn’t mean it’s time to panic. You probably have everything you need right in front of you. Not only can this make for a better (and safer) viewing experience, but it can be a fun activity for the family. Nothing brings the family together more than an eclipse.
Remember: do not look directly at the eclipse. Even if you’ve seen other people do it–avoid making that mistake. Instead, consider some of these household items that have the potential to improve your eclipse viewing experience.
You can make some good old fashion tube viewers out of cardboard tubes like the ones found in paper towels and toilet paper. You just need those, some aluminum foil, tape, and some white paper. See USA Today explain it here.
Live Science does it a little differently with a cardboard box. You can easily find everything needed for this around the house. It follows the same concept as the example above. You can watch CBC News explain it below!
Hopefully, this ends up being everything it’s been hyped up to be. We’re ready for it.
