 A recent issue of both Astronomy magazine and Sky and Telescope Magazine
had exstensive reviews of the upcoming solar eclipse.  I think it was the
 Febreuary issues. Check them out.
I have arragned an assembly at my school on the day before the eclipse to
make the school aware of the eclipse, what it is, the dangers of directly look-
ing at it, etc. This particular eclipse is an annular eclipse.

Pin Holes cameras are a very good way to look at the eclipse. If you have a
 telescope, if you cover the objective with mylar, you can build a cheap solar
filter. UNfortunately, we are at a sunspot minimum so the sun isn't great
viewing.  We were gazing last weeke and we could only see two sun spots.
I think there was also an article in the Physics Teacher recently.
Let me know if you want more details on the solar filter.
