A solar eclipse occurs when a portion of the Earth is obscured in a shadow cast by the Moon which fully or partially blocks sunlight.
This occurs when the Sun, Moon and Earth are aligned. Such alignment coincides with a new moon indicating the Moon is closest to the ecliptic plane.
Set Rules for Your Viewing
* Never look directly at sun without proper eye protection. It can hurt your eyes , can damage it and even go blind. UV rays are focused.
* Do not use normal filters.
* Do not wear normal, ordinary sunglasses to watch SOLAR ECLIPSE.
* Use solar filters and solar viewing eclipse glasses to view SOLAR ECLIPSE. The 'lenses' of solar viewing glasses are made from special purpose solar filters that are hundreds or thousands of times darker than regular sunglasses.
* Never view the disk of the sun through a telescope, binoculars or camera without a proper solar filter. The concentrated solar rays will damage the filter and can enter your EYES causing serious injury.
* Avoid using the devices if they are older than three to four years or appear damaged or wrinkled.
* Do not look at the partially eclipsed sun through an unfiltered camera, telescope, binoculars or the other optical devices.
