Solar Eclipse Glasses: Get ready, folks! On April 8, something super cool is happening in the sky. Yep, you guessed it – a solar eclipse! The moon is sneaking up on the sun, and for lucky peeps in some places, it’s going to cover the sun completely. But don’t worry if you’re not in those spots; most of us will still get to see a part of the sun disappear behind the moon.
Beware of Fake Glasses
Just like last time during the solar eclipse party across America in 2017, the folks at the American Astronomical Society (AAS) are sounding the alarm about fake eclipse glasses flooding the market. They’re saying, “Watch out!” because those phony glasses are not safe. They could mess up your eyes big time, from just blurring your vision to making you go blind.
Solar Eclipse Glasses : How to Spot the Real Deal
So, if you’re planning to snag a pair of eclipse glasses, be smart about it. Make sure they’re from a place the AAS says is okay. And hey, if you’ve already got a pair, let’s do some detective work before showtime. Here’s how: First, try them on inside and look around. You shouldn’t see anything except maybe super bright lights, and even those should be super dim. Then, step outside with them on. If you can’t see anything except the sun’s reflection off shiny stuff, you’re good. Finally, take a peek at the sun. If it looks comfy bright, you’re golden.
DIY Fun with a Pinhole Camera!
Wanna be extra cool and make your own pinhole camera? Check out this rad video that shows you how. The awesome brainiacs at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory made this idea, and it’s super simple and fun. You’ll be capturing the eclipse like a pro in no time.
So, there you have it, folks! Get ready for an out-of-this-world show in the sky. Just remember, protect those peepers and have a blast watching the eclipse.
