Watch eclipse with cardboard cutout method

If you don't have the special eclipse glasses, you can use the old cardboard cutout/paper plates hole technique.

Meteorologist Paul Gross demonstrates that method: 

Paul is standing with his back to the sun in anticipation of the moon's shadow blocking the punched-out hole in the cardboard. This technique is actually a lot cooler than it looks. You should be able to see the outline of the moon as it passes by the sun. It's better than nothing. 

Or, you can make a pinhole projector out of a cereal box -- watch reporter Kim DeGiulio explain how to make one here:
