While checking out NASA Headquarters in Washington on March 19, 2024, astronauts Stephen Bowen, left, Frank Rubio, Warren Hoburg, and UAE (United Arab Emirates) astronaut Sultan Alneyadi, right, presented for a picture using solar seeing glasses (“eclipse glasses”). Eclipse glasses with the ISO 12312-2 global requirement or a safe portable solar audience are an essential to look straight at the Sun throughout the eclipse before or after totality– the quick duration where the Moon totally obstructs the Sun's face. Seeing any part of the intense Sun through a cam lens, field glasses, or a telescope without a special-purpose solar filter protected over the front of the optics will quickly trigger extreme eye injury.
NASA will have live protection of the overall solar eclipse, starting at 1 p.m. EDT.
