When watching an annular eclipse directly with your eyes, you must look through safe solar viewing glasses (“eclipse glasses”) or a safe handheld solar viewer at all times. Eclipse glasses are not regular sunglasses – no matter how dark, sunglasses are not safe for viewing the Sun.

There are more ways than one! To protect your eyes while looking at a solar eclipse, always use proper eye protection for solar viewing – such as solar viewing glasses (often called “eclipse glasses”) or a handheld solar viewer – when any part of the bright solar disk is visible. To use telescopes or binoculars to look directly at the Sun, you must install a certified solar filter to the front of the instrument. Don’t have eclipse glasses or other equipment? You can use an indirect viewing method to project sunlight onto another surface and see the shape of the Sun throughout the eclipse. There are many ways you can do this from using materials around your house, tree leaves, or even your hands.To learn more about solar eclipse safety, visit: https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/future-eclipses/eclipse-2024/safety/ || ", "release_date": "2024-02-26T10:00:00-05:00", "update_date": "2024-02-23T09:43:24.146529-05:00", "main_image": { "id": 1089466, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a014500/a014532/Thumbnail.jpg", "filename": "Thumbnail.jpg", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "Watch this video on the NASA Goddard YouTube channel.Complete transcript available.Music credit: \"Back From The Brink\" by Daniel Gunnar Louis Trachtenberg [PRS], “Hive Mind” by Ben De Vries [PRS] and Cam Tigre [PRS] from Universal Production MusicAdditional footage: NASA EDGESound effects: Pixabay", "width": 1280, "height": 720, "pixels": 921600 } }, { "id": 14509, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14509/", "page_type": "Produced Video", "title": "How to Safely Watch a Total Solar Eclipse", "description": "On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will cross North America, passing over Mexico, the United States, and Canada.

A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth and briefly covers the full disk of the Sun. This reveals the Sun’s wispy, white outer atmosphere, called the corona.Weather permitting, people throughout most of North and Central America, including all of the contiguous United States, will be able to view at least a partial solar eclipse. A partial solar eclipse is when the Moon only covers part of the Sun. People in Hawaii and parts of Alaska will also experience a partial solar eclipse.
