Understanding Eclipse Types
Not all eclipses are the same. Here is what makes each type unique and how they occur.
Solar Eclipse Safety
Looking directly at the Sun during a solar eclipse can cause permanent eye damage or blindness. Follow these essential safety guidelines.
Use Certified Eclipse Glasses
Only use glasses that meet the ISO 12312-2 international safety standard. Regular sunglasses are NOT safe, no matter how dark.
Never Look Through Optics Unfiltered
Cameras, binoculars, and telescopes concentrate sunlight and can cause instant damage. Use proper solar filters on the front of the optics.
Pinhole Projection
A safe alternative: poke a small hole in cardboard and project the Sun's image onto a flat surface behind it. Great for groups and children.
Totality Exception
During the brief total phase of a total solar eclipse ONLY, it is safe to view with the naked eye. Put glasses back on immediately when the Sun reappears.
