All Compliments to the creator and producers of this great piece of work for the safety of viewing the Eclipse. Do Not look directly into the event because it can and will cause Eye Damage.

1. Don’t waste time photographing it. The actual time of totality is very short and you won’t get a chance to see it again for years. Besides, seasoned eclipse photographers will produce great pictures of the event. Only you get the first-person experience.

2. Do not leave your eclipse glasses on during totality, but only if you are in the path of totality. As soon as you cannot see the Sun through your eclipse glasses take them off. We repeat, only do this if you are watching from within the path of totality.

3. Stop viewing the eclipse through binoculars and telescopes before totality ends. You could be permanently blinded if you look at the Sun through binoculars or telescopes, even for just a split second. Also, put your eclipse glasses back on as soon as totality ends.

4. Don’t rely just on your eyes. Pay attention to what’s happening around you as well.

    The temperature will drop
    Nocturnal animals might emerge
    Street lamps light up
    Birds fall silent
    Take it all in!

5. To continue the thought, don’t do just one thing exclusively. Take in the Sun’s active corona, the entire sky, the stars and planets, and the shadowed, dark Earth before totality ends.

Remember, eclipse viewing glasses with solar filters and ISO 12312-2 certification are the only safe way to look directly at the Sun.
