A man in London watches an eclipse using a colander held up in front of him, letting sunlight pass through its holes. Footage and reports describe other people adopting similar improvised viewing methods in a packed park setting.
The outlets note that some viewers do not have certified eclipse glasses and look for alternative ways to observe the event safely. A common approach cited is using indirect viewing through the colander’s perforations rather than looking directly at the sun.
Both accounts frame the incident as part of wider public interest and hands-on experimentation during the eclipse, emphasizing the crowded atmosphere and the visibility of the method in a public place. They do not provide additional technical verification beyond describing the colander technique and the fact that it is shared by multiple spectators.
