Eclipse Viewing Tools: Build A Sun Funnel

One of the challenges of solar eclipses is that the Sun always look small. A great tool for group settings is enlarging the Sun with a Sun Funnel. The Sun Funnel uses a small telescope to project a larger image of the Sun on a screen. It is a safe technique because the light from the Sun is entirely enclosed within the funnel. This video is a full walk-thru of making a Sun Funnel.
