Eclipse Viewing Safety:

  • Never look directly at the sun.

  • If you are within the path of totality*, remove your solar filter only when the moon completely covers the sun’s bright face and it suddenly gets quite dark. Experience totality, then, as soon as the bright sun begins to reappear, replace your solar viewer to look at the remaining partial phases.

  • Use eclipse glasses and handheld solar viewers verified to be compliant with the ISO 12312-2 international safety standard for such products.

  • Always inspect your solar filter before use; if scratched or damaged, discard it. Read and follow any instructions printed on or packaged with the filter.

  • Do not look at the sun through a camera, a telescope, binoculars, or any other optical device while using your eclipse glasses or hand-held solar viewer — the concentrated solar rays will damage the filter and enter your eye(s), causing serious injury.

  • Keep normal eyeglasses on, if normally worn, and place eclipse glasses over them.

*Zanesville, Ohio is not in the path of totality. Never look at the sun without a solar filter if you are not in the path of totality.
