the DIY methods is get a projection of that image.
Again, exactly that kind of one circle crossing on top of the other, creating that kind of crescent shape.
And to do that you make a kind of pinhole camera, like your own DIY home version.
And it can be as simple as two pieces of paper.
You put a pinhole in one, you know, it could be a pinhole.
You hold one sheet up so your back is to the sun, but you hold a sheet up so the light can fall through that hole, and then you hold another piece of paper out around arm's length in front of you and you will get the image projected onto that piece of paper.
You'll get a little inverted kind of crescent shape.
And you can play around with it until you know you get the best version of that.
That's alright.
So the other thing I should have said as well is because it is going to be quite low in the sky because it's happening in the evening across Europe.
So you've got to check you actually will have line of sight of it from wherever you are.
I'm going to go out to a park because it's quite a nice space, like open space.
So I'm going to be taking with me half of my kitchen because you can also use a colander.
Which is actually really nice.
I've not tried it yet myself, but from what I can see, because there are lots of little holes, effectively you get like a kind of a disco ball like effect where you get lots of different little inverted images.
Along the same theme, I've read that you can use a slotted spoon.
Basically you need some kind of aperture for the light to go through.
And if you are just out and about, if you have literally nothing, you've completely forgotten, you don't have anything with you, the very easiest option is to find a tree that you can stand beneath, like a canopy of leaves, and that you know you get those just like teeny tiny little gaps where the sunlight falls between the leaves and the canopy.
That also can act as your pinhole.
And if you look on the ground, you should hopefully be able to see exactly that crescent again.
