Commercial Supply 127830 VisiSolar Eclipse Viewing Glasses - Pack of 50

It's important to note that regular sunglasses, no matter how dark, are not safe to use for viewing a solar eclipse. Only use glasses specifically designed for eclipse viewing to protect your eyes. Set a good example: Wearing solar eclipse glasses sets a good example for others, especially children, who may be tempted to look directly at the sun without proper eye protection. By wearing the glasses yourself, you can encourage others to do the same and promote safe viewing habits. Solar eclipses occur when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, casting a shadow on the Earth's surface. This phenomenon can be observed when the moon is in its new phase, and its path crosses the Earth's orbital plane. A solar eclipse can only occur during the daytime, and it typically lasts for a few minutes. There are three types of solar eclipses: total, partial, and annular. A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon completely covers the sun, causing a total blackout. This is a rare and spectacular event that can only be viewed from a specific region of the Earth, where the moon's shadow falls. A partial solar eclipse occurs when the moon only partially covers the sun, resulting in a crescent-shaped sun. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the moon is at its farthest distance from the Earth, making it appear smaller than the sun. As a result, the sun's outer edges appear as a ring of fire around the moon. Solar eclipses have been observed and documented for thousands of years. In ancient cultures, solar eclipses were often interpreted as a sign of impending doom or a message from the gods. Today, we understand the scientific basis of solar eclipses and use them as an opportunity to study the sun's corona, or outer atmosphere. Protect your eyes from damage. Looking directly at the sun during a solar eclipse without proper eye protection can cause severe damage to your eyes, including blindness. VisiSolar eclipse glasses are designed to filter out the harmful ultraviolet and infrared radiation from the sun, preventing eye damage.
