How to Build a Sun Scope

A Sun Scope is so easy to make that it sometimes happens just by accident. If the geometry is right all you really need is a darkened room with a small hole in the wall to let the sunlight in. In fact during the last solar eclipse in our area grandma Oddball simply pasted some paper with a small hole in the middle over her kitchen window to form a makeshift Sun Scope which projected an image of the Sun about a foot in diameter on the far wall of the kitchen. She was then able to safely watch the eclipse while doing the dishes.
