SGA reminds you to protect your eyes during a solar eclipse!
Mark your calendars! On Monday, April 8, 2024, we're in for a celestial treat with a solar eclipse from 2:04 p.m. to 4:31 p.m. ๐ The peak moment? That mesmerizing 3:19 p.m. when the Moon steals the spotlight from the Sun. ๐โก๏ธ๐ Since many of us will be on the move around then, it's crucial to prep and stay safe.
๐ How to Safeguard Your Eyes During the Eclipse:
1๏ธโฃ No direct staring! Seriously, it's a major eye no-no, and that's especially true during an eclipse. Permanent damage? No thanks!
2๏ธโฃ Wanna catch a glimpse? Use certified solar eclipse viewers or filters meeting ISO 12312-2 standards. They'll give you a safe, clear view that won't leave you seeing spots.
3๏ธโฃ Homemade hacks like sunglasses or random camera lenses? Nope, don't even think about it. Stick to the eclipse-viewing gear the pros recommend.
4๏ธโฃ If the view's too bright, out of focus, or just feels off, ditch the viewer or filter. Better safe than sorry!
5๏ธโฃ When in doubt, chuck it out! Stick with reputable sources for your eclipse gear to ensure you're keeping those peepers protected.
