As people across the country prepare to watch what is being called "The Great American Solar Eclipse," experts warn that viewing the phenomenon can be dangerous without the appropriate protection. Why is it so special? On average, it takes about 375 years for a total solar eclipse to happen again at the same location! So this is definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity for our us and our students.
On August 21, 2017, a total solar eclipse, where the moon completely covers the sun, will be visible in the U.S. from Oregon to South Carolina!
It's the first total solar eclipse that can be seen coast to coast and only from the continental U.S. since the country's founding.
Experts warn against staring directly at the sun, which can damage the eyes. But eclipse gazers can find ways to protect themselves, using eclipse glasses that are ISO certified.
Eclipse glasses often look like old-fashioned 3D glasses made from thick paper, but the lenses are black or may have a silvery coating on the outside and are specially built to block a majority of the sun's rays. In comparison, ordinary sunglasses only block about 60% of light rays.
