Total Solar Eclipse

Viewing a solar eclipse, especially a total solar eclipse is an amazing experience, but the sun is bright and therefore it’s important to know how to keep your eyes safe while veiwing this celestial phenomenon. See the National Park Service ‘How to View a Solar Eclipse Safely‘ web page for important information on how to do so. https://www.nps.gov/articles/eclipsesafety.htm

The most common way to protect your eyes is by purchasing eclipse glasses. Make sure you buy from a reputable source. Here are a couple I know of: Sky & Telescope and the Astronomical Society of the Pacific. Information on Eclipse glasses can be found at the American Astronomical Society. General information about the solar eclipse can be found at The Great American Eclipse.
