The total solar eclipse is coming soon to many countries.
Many shops no longer have special glasses in stock.
Fortunately, you can use household items to observe the sun.
The first method is to use a kitchen colander.
Hold the colander above the ground to see small crescents of light.
Another option is to make a projector with a cardboard box.
Poke a small hole in the cardboard and look at the projected image inside.
You can also cross your hands to create holes with your fingers.
Never look at the sun directly with your eyes without protection.
These simple methods allow you to enjoy the show without danger.
