Protect Your Eyes During the Next Solar Eclipse

When it comes to your eyes, you only have a pair and no spare, so protect your eyes from injury and damage when watching the upcoming solar eclipse. Partial and total solar eclipses are rare and beautiful celestial events. Prevent Blindness wants everyone to enjoy these spectacular events wherever they occur. But do it safely! It is never safe to look at a solar eclipse without proper safety equipment or techniques, except in the brief time of totality during a total solar eclipse when the sun’s light is completely blocked by the moon. Solar eclipse glasses allow you to view a solar eclipse safely and without damaging your eyes.  Make sure they meet safety requirements and are manufactured with the ISO 12312-2 standard. Look for ISO standard labeling when looking for solar eclipse glasses and only purchase them from a trusted source. We hope you make the most out of these rare and exciting opportunities to view a solar eclipse.

September 21, 2025 Partial Solar Eclipse

September 21, 2025, a partial solar eclipse, is an upcoming celestial event that has captured the attention of astronomy enthusiasts worldwide. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes in front of the sun, blocking the light from the sun and casting a shadow on the earth’s surface. In a partial solar eclipse, the moon does not completely cover the sun but only partially obscures it. This creates a breathtaking visual display; you can even see the sun’s corona, or outer atmosphere, with your own eyes.

It’s important to remember that looking directly at the sun during a solar eclipse can seriously hurt your eyes. Use specially designed solar viewing glasses or other safety equipment to observe the eclipse without causing permanent eye damage.

In addition to its scientific significance, solar eclipses have also played a significant role in cultural and religious beliefs throughout history. As a result, some people see solar eclipses as omens or signs of important events to come, and they’ve become popular tourist attractions in modern times.

The September 2025 solar eclipse is expected to draw many visitors to the areas where it will be visible, with many communities already preparing for the influx of people. Some places are even planning special events and festivals to celebrate the occasion!

Overall, the September 2025 solar eclipse is an incredible event many people eagerly anticipate. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for people to witness an awe-inspiring spectacle that will leave a lasting impression.

If you plan to observe the eclipse, do it safely! You can accomplish this by using specially designed solar viewing glasses, telescopes with solar filters, or other specialized equipment.

Mark your calendar for September 21, 2025, because the solar eclipse will be incredible! Just remember to protect your eyes and enjoy the breathtaking display that nature has in store for us.

How to protect your eyes!

Protect your eyes during the next solar eclipse. During the next eclipse, wear ISO-certified eclipse glasses.

 

Never look directly at the sun during a solar eclipse (except during the very brief time the sun is in total eclipse; and even then, with caution). Looking directly at the sun can cause permanent damage to your eyes. After viewing a solar eclipse, seek treatment from an eye care professional if you or your child have any changes in vision that continue to get worse.
