Best Practices for Viewing the Eclipse
Safety first! While viewing the eclipse, it’s crucial to protect your eyes. Remember to use certified solar viewing glasses to safeguard your vision from the sun’s intense rays.
During a total solar eclipse, you must wear your eclipse glasses (or use other solar filters) to view the Sun directly during the partial eclipse phase. You can only take your glasses off during the short time when the Moon completely obscures the Sun – known as the period of totality
