See the Solar Eclipse Safely
What You Need to Know
A solar eclipse is a beautiful and awe-inspiring sight, but it's important to view it safely. Looking directly at the sun during an eclipse can damage your eyes, so it's important to take precautions.
Here are some tips for viewing a solar eclipse safely:
- Use eclipse glasses. Eclipse glasses are specially designed to block out harmful UV rays from the sun. They're the only safe way to view a solar eclipse.
- Don't use sunglasses. Sunglasses do not provide enough protection from the sun's rays during an eclipse.
- Don't use binoculars or telescopes without a solar filter. Binoculars and telescopes can magnify the sun's rays, which can damage your eyes.
- Don't look directly at the sun. Even if you're wearing eclipse glasses, don't look directly at the sun for more than a few seconds at a time.
