With the solar eclipse just a week away, it’s time to think about how to safely view the celestial show.

, Dr. Ilana MacDonald of University of Toronto’s Dunlap Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics has an inventory of ways to protect your eyes with household materials.. A partial eclipse will take place just before 2 p.m. in southwestern Ontario, followed by a total eclipse at 3:12 p.m.

MacDonald recommends punching the hole with a shape that’s not a sphere to clearly see the circle of the sun shine through it. Put it into action by going outside, standing with the sun behind you and letting it shine through the pinhole, projecting the sun onto the other side of the shoebox.“If you have a colander, or a cheese grater with holes in it or things like that, you can actually project the image of the sun onto a surface using just holes from everyday objects,” she said.
