Weather Channel Meteorologist Chris Bruin on Eclipse Eye Safety
SUMMARY: Safe viewing glasses that are specifically designed to view the sun during a solar eclipse are essential for protecting your eyes. These glasses are different from sunglasses and use a special film to safely view the sun. It is important to wear the glasses or use a card throughout the eclipse, except during totality when the sun is completely covered. DIY options like pinhole projectors can also be used if glasses are not available. Safety is key when viewing the eclipse, and it is crucial to avoid looking directly at the sun to prevent damage to your eyes. Following these simple tips can help your family safely enjoy the total solar eclipse.
