How to see the eclipse safely
Seeing the sun directly, even for a few seconds, is already very harmful for the human eye. It is even more harmful to see the eclipse because the solar radiation intensifies during an eclipse and the eyes may be more damaged.
“It is like receiving sunburn on almost very sensitive cells that help you look into the eye,” an optometrist of Clearview Icare in Novi. Joshua Lang said. “Even for just one or two, it can be too much to see it and those cells can really be burnt from it.”
Special eclipse glasses should follow the ISO 12312-2 security standard. NASA has warned people not to look at the eclipse through camera lenses, telescopes or binoculars wearing eclips glasses. Solar rays can burn through filters and cause eye injuries.
If you are not getting safety glasses, then you have options to see it using products you can in the house, Lang said.
“There is a bunch of holes through a pasta co -co -co -galander that you will actually put the pasta under stress, you can really catch it and see the ground and see the eclipse through the pin hole you are looking at.”
