The only safe way to look directly at the uneclipsed or partially eclipsed Sun is through special-purpose solar filters, such as “eclipse glasses” (example shown at left) or handheld solar viewers. Homemade filters or ordinary sunglasses, even very dark ones, are not safe for looking at the Sun; they transmit thousands of times too much sunlight.
NEED GLASSES ?
South Dale Middle School students will receive glasses free on the day of the eclipse. Additional glasses are available from Mrs D for $1.00 per pair and all proceeds go to the SDMS Science Club.
