Create a simple solar viewer to safely observe the Sun with just some paper and aluminum foil. A solar viewer, or pinhole viewer, works by projecting the image of the sun onto a surface behind the small hole. The smaller the hole, the sharper the image will be. Watch the how-to video above and follow along to make your own.
