Safe Viewing Tips
Looking directly at the sun is unsafe and can cause eye damage. The only safe way to directly view the eclipse is through solar filters, such as eclipse glasses.
- Make sure your eclipse glasses meet the ISO 12312-2 safety standard.
- Cover your eyes with the eclipse glasses before looking up at the sun.
- Turn away after glancing at the sun and remove your glasses — do not remove them while looking at the sun.
Avoid looking at any part of the eclipse through an unfiltered camera, telescope, binoculars or other optical device, even while you are wearing your eclipse glasses. For more safety tips, go to preparemetrokc.org.
