Protecting Eyesight During Solar Eclipse

The world will witness a total solar eclipse on August 12th, which will be visible to millions of people in regions including Greenland, Iceland, northern Russia, Spain, and Portugal. During the eclipse's total phase over Spain, the sun will appear as a crescent at sunset. This event is one of three major solar eclipses expected to occur in Spain over the next two years. The safest time to view the eclipse without protection is only during the brief period of totality when the moon completely covers the sun’s disk. It is advised not to look directly at the sun during the eclipse unless using certified glasses or special filters, as unprotected viewing can cause permanent eye damage, such as solar retinopathy. Approved glasses conforming to ISO 12312-2 standards or indirect viewing methods are recommended, and caution should be exercised to avoid using regular glasses that do not meet safety standards.
