Abstract

The article titled "Make an Eclipsinator: View the Sun in style" by Jerry Oltion provides instructions on how to create a solar projector using binoculars and PVC pipe. The author explains that if one doesn't have the space or resources to create a large solar projector, they can use binoculars to project a solar image onto a white card a few feet away. However, to create a larger image, the author suggests using a length of PVC pipe to hold the binoculars away from the screen. The article provides detailed instructions on how to construct the "Eclipsinator" and emphasizes the importance of safety precautions when using binoculars to view the Sun.
