On October 14, 2023, a mesmerizing annular solar eclipse will be visible across North, Central, and South America.IE's interview with an expert highlights the significance of proper eye protection and technology filters.
While this celestial event is exciting, it's crucial to remember that looking directly at the Sun at any time, including during any part of an eclipse, can severely damage your eyes. Additionally, if not done correctly, viewing can also harm your technology, including cameras and telescopes.
Whereas the eclipse in 2024 will be a total solar eclipse, allowing viewers to observe the Sun's mesmerizing corona and the stunning "diamond ring" effect. Not using a credible solar filter on your telescope or wearing proper protective glasses is like not wearing sunscreen. The eye can get a sunburn just like your skin; in this case, we call it retinal burns or solar retinopathy.: Can you explain the significance of certified solar viewing glasses or filters when viewing a solar eclipse and how they work technically?It is important to note that your telescope or normal sunglasses will not suffice during a solar eclipse.
The great thing about these glasses is that they don't expire, so if you got a pair to view the 2017 eclipse and they're still in good condition, you can use them again for this eclipse.: How do smart telescopes like Unistellar's eVscope 2 and eQuinox 2, equipped with the Smart Solar Filter, enhance the experience of observing a solar eclipse?Unistellar's smart solar filter reduces the Sun's light by 100,000 times to allow for optimal viewing without damaging your telescope.
