How to watch Solar Eclipse with safety

Solar eclipses are awe-inspiring events, but it's important to know how to watch them safely to protect your eyes from harm. Here are some tips:

These glasses are specifically designed to block out harmful ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) radiation from the sun. Look for glasses that have an ISO 12312-2:2015 certification.

This is a simple way to view the eclipse indirectly. To make a pinhole projector, punch a small hole in a piece of cardboard or foil. Hold the cardboard up to the sun and project the image onto a white surface. Create a pinhole projector. This is a simple way to view the eclipse indirectly.

Attend public eclipse viewing events. Many organizations host public eclipse viewing events where you can use certified solar eclipse glasses and telescopes to safely view the eclipse. Trained volunteers will be on hand to provide guidance and assistance.

Never use regular sunglasses, cameras, or unfiltered telescopes to view the sun. These devices do not block out enough UV and IR radiation, and can cause serious eye damage.
