Enjoy the eclipse with a bucket of water
![eclipse.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYDzE5VykASkTRMLmTBfymf5XbZBXdgT6pApgyh9LRAE3/eclipse.jpg)

Yes indeed, a bucket of water filled to the brim is the best way I found to watch the last solar eclipse in UK.
No need for fancy glasses, welding goggles or risking your eyeballs to solar destruction of the retinas.
The reflection in a clean bucket of water will be clear enough for you to take some excellent photographs of this amazing event.

I hope to see everybody back here in one piece on Monday afternoon, with eyeballs intact and a collection of fine eclipse shots.

As it's the first total eclipse in the USA for a long time there are of course the usual Armageddon rumours embroiled in this eclipse, but bear in mind, an eclipse happens around every 18 months somewhere on earth and the world does not start and end in the USA. So fear not and enjoy the spectacle.

In typical paranoid USA fashion this has to be THE eclipse lol.
I remember the drama in UK for the 1999 one though, but I suppose the date did make it a bit dramatic too hehehe.
That's when I first used the bucket trick,

Very cool solution!  For those that don't manage to find a way of enjoying the eclipse without damaging their eyes... I wrote this just in case:

I like the bucket idea best so far though!  SO simple and effective.  Nicely done @centaurmystic

Oh cool!  

You and I were introduced by @doctorcrypto :)  Wonderful meeting you by the way!

I just published this- you can set your phone to "selfie" and [watch the eclipse over your shoulder ;)](https://steemit.com/life/@arbitrarykitten/no-eclipse-glasses-no-problem)

Another great idea of course. Back when I first used a bucket of water, phones hadn't been invented lol

Great idea!   I'll have to give it a try.  I as able to take some great pictures as well because there was a considerable amount of cloud cover, allow my kids and I to view it with the naked eye!

Check it out...
