Professor builds viewing box for solar eclipse viewing

People across large parts of Sweden will be able to see a solar eclipse at around 7 p.m. on Wednesday, SVT reported. The eclipse is expected to peak less than an hour later, and it can be viewed safely without damaging the eyes.

Tony Pansell, a professor of optometry, has built his own viewing box, which he says is better than the eclipse glasses sold in shops.

“You can now study the sun indirectly in this way,” Pansell said while demonstrating his solution. SVT’s video shows how the viewing box works.
