It’s still going to be a dramatic view and worth checking out. Anything with a small hole can be held over a sheet of paper to capture the view.Īgain, Chicago is over 250 miles from the path of totality so you will not be able to see a total solar eclipse. Other things you can use include a colander, leaves, a pegboard. NASA has instructions for a similar setup here. When the available sunlight goes through the hole you will see the shadow of the moon creating an eclipse right in front of you. This can be as simple as punching a hole into a sheet of paper and holding it up and away from a second piece of paper as you stand with your back to the sun. Finding a pair last minute is going to be tough so instead devise a safe and easy pinhole viewer. The sun can seriously damage your eyes so don’t look at it unless you have some. From Chicago the solar eclipse will not be total, so you need to wear eclipse glasses the entire time.
