Eclipse Viewer
My friend and work colleague brought a box of Moon Pies into work today, 21 August 2017, the day of the total eclipse of the Sun. At first I thought that he brought them in because of the day, because it is Earth's moon that blocks the Sun's rays for the effect. Nope, total coincidence.
When all of the Moon Pies were taken, I saved the box in order to make this simple pinhole eclipse viewer! The black rectangle is the viewing port. The pinhole is in that small piece of aluminum foil in the middle of the bite on the product illustration. Not perfect but it worked well enough.
