Safe methods for viewing solar eclipse

NYC will have a PARTIAL Eclipse. Two safe ways not directly looking at sun with your back towards sun:

A pinhole camera with cardboard with a center pen point size puncture and a dark stiff paper / cardboard behind the pinhole.

Or

Take your binoculars and invert with cardboard shield over  one lens (front) onto a dark or light  stiff paper or cardboard. Shield acts as a light block.But first cutout a stiff cardboard that fits over the front lens of the binoculars.your shield.

See this link for pics and BE SAFE! SUN Can blind you!
