Solar eclipses occur when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, casting a shadow on Earth. A total solar eclipse happens when the Moon fully blocks the Sun’s face. These events are rare and spectacular, drawing both scientists and skywatchers alike.
Experts recommend using proper eye protection, such as certified solar viewing glasses or a handheld solar viewer, when observing a solar eclipse. Looking directly at the Sun, even during an eclipse, can cause serious and permanent eye damage. More information on safe viewing practices can be found at NASA’s eclipse website.
