Solar Eclipse Viewing Party

Spectators must wear approved “eclipse glasses” while viewing the solar eclipse to avoid permanently injuring their eyes. There is only one safe way to look directly at the sun, whether during an eclipse or not: through special-purpose solar filters, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology. These solar filters are used in eclipse glasses or in hand-held solar viewers. They must meet a very specific worldwide standard known as ISO 12312-2.
