You don't need fancy equipment to see an eclipse. My friend  Anne Wheaton told me how she took this picture: "I stabbed a pen tip through my valet ticket and looked at it on my friend's sweatshirt. Crafty!" When light rays from the Sun pass through a small hole, all the rays coming out are parallel, so they're in focus. The smaller the hole, the better. That's how a pinhole camera works, and is one of the safest - and most fun - ways to look at the Sun.
