Is *this* a clever way to observe a solar eclipse? Watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24PZ86783-Y from minute 26 for how that works, with a cereal box, a pinhole and white paper - resulting the tiniest of solar images. There are better ways to project the Sun, see e.g. http://www2.eng.cam.ac.uk/~hemh/transit.htm part 3.
