Learn about the upcoming total solar eclipse in 2024 and the importance of using proper eyewear to avoid eye damage. Find out where the eclipse will be visible and how to choose the best glasses for viewing.
There will be a total solar eclipse visible across many parts of the United States on April 8, 2024. NASA reports the upcoming eclipse will be visible between Texas and Maine. If you're planning to gaze upon this once-in-a-lifetime event, you'll need special glasses to avoid permanent eye damage . Regular sunglasses, even those that are polarized and that offer 100% UV protection, are not suitable.
The American Astronomical Society issued important guidelines for choosing the best glasses (also known as eclipse viewers) to wear during the upcoming solar eclipse. Not using the proper eyewear could cause blindness or permanent eye damage. Proper solar viewers block all but a minuscule fraction of the sun's ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) light, which is what makes them safe to use. Here are some inexpensive solar eclipse viewer options you can order online
