SPACE — A solar eclipse occurs when the moon is between the Earth and the sun, casting a shadow over the Earth. On April 20, 2023, a hybrid solar eclipse can be witnessed in Indonesia.
However, never look directly at the sun without eye protection during an eclipse. In fact, when the sun is partially obscured, it contains harmful ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) rays that can damage the retinas of your eyes and even cause blindness.
That doesn’t mean you can’t watch it indirectly. The best way to view the eclipse is through a simple pinhole camera. To make one, all you need are a few household items: a box (which could be a shoe box), a small piece of foil or tinfoil, a piece of white paper, masking tape, pins or needles, and a cutter knife.

5 Steps to Make a Solar Eclipse Box:
When it’s time for an eclipse, hold up the shoe box so that its shadow is level, showing the box parallel to the sunlight. Stand so that when you look through the hole you can see a tiny ray of light on the drawing screen (paper); it’s the sun. During an eclipse, you will see the moon’s shadow passing in front of the sun. Source: Space.com
