Information About the Eclipse
Looking directly at the sun during a solar eclipse is unsafe and can cause permanent damage to your eyes. Even a brief look at the sun can damage your retina and potentially even cause blindness; a condition called solar retinopathy. Only during Totality can you look at the sun without eye protection.
SAFE
- Use only specially designed and certified solar eclipse glasses. They are made to block out 100% of infrared and ultraviolet light.
- Use only special-purpose eclipse filters for your binoculars, telescopes, cameras and phone lenses.
NOT SAFE
- Do not use ordinary or polarized sunglasses. They are not strong enough to protect your eyes.
- Do not remove your lens filter or your eclipse glasses while looking at the sun.
