Surya Grahan in India: Safe to watch solar eclipse with sunglasses? Check out what NASA says
NASA says, “Except during the brief total phase of a total solar eclipse, when the Moon completely blocks the Sun’s bright face, it is not safe to look directly at the Sun without specialized eye protection for solar viewing. Viewing any part of the bright Sun through a camera lens, binoculars, or a telescope without a special-purpose solar filter secured over the front of the optics will instantly cause severe eye injury.”
On Oct. 25, the Moon will pass in front of the Sun, partially blocking the star for some viewers in Africa, Asia, & Europe! 🌍🌑☀️
