Safety Tips for the Total Solar Eclipse

Never look directly into the sun. 🌞 (the sun is very friendly!)
Carefully inspect your solar filters or eclipse glasses before using them. Do not use if damaged or scratched.
Make sure you cover your eyes fully with your eclipse glasses or solar viewer before looking up. Do not remove while looking at the sun.
Be careful when purchasing the various’ eclipse glasses’ found online.
Please be aware that not even your darkest, UV-blocking sunglasses can completely protect your eyes from damage caused by looking directly at the sun during the eclipse.

If you’re in the path of totality, you’ll also need to know when it’s safe to remove your eclipse glasses during totality.

States in the path of totality include Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.
