April 8th, 2024 The Great American Eclipse will pass over our area.
Never look directly at the sun during a solar eclipse (except during the very brief time the sun is in total eclipse; and even then, with caution). 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. Even the darkest sunglasses will not prevent damage to the eye. Solar eclipse glasses must meet ISO 12312-2 standards.
Make sure glasses are manufactured with the ISO 12312-2 standard. Look for ISO labeling on solar eclipse glasses and purchase them only from a trusted source.
