Making lens-covers for binoculars [edit section]

My friend Darin has a video showing how to make some lens covers for binoculars, so you can see more details during an eclipse. Cameras don't capture everything the human eye can see, and this simple project allows you to customize any pair of binoculars to make them safe for use during an eclipse. You'll need a pair of eclipse sunglasses (the cheap paper kind) A cereal box, some white glue, a ruler and some scissors for this project.
