Ugly solar eclipse viewer
The country is counting down to next week's solar eclipse. Combine some basic supplies with a dash of creativity and you can safely watch the historic event. For those without special glasses or binoculars or colanders or standards for beauty, they can watch the eclipse at the bottom of a cereal box by cutting two holes in the top, taping a piece of tin foil over one of those holes, and pricking that foil with a pin.
