🌑✨ We're gearing up for an awe-inspiring celestial event - we can view a partial solar eclipse across the islands on April 8th! While it's a rare and exciting moment, it's crucial to protect your eyes. Looking directly at the sun, even during an eclipse, can cause permanent eye damage. Use eclipse glasses that meet the ISO 12312-2 international safety standard, consider pinhole projectors as an alternative method for indirect viewing, and remember, regular sunglasses don’t offer sufficient protection against the sun’s rays during an eclipse. 🌌🔭 #SolarEclipse2024 #EyeSafety #EclipseGlasses #ProtectYourEyes #AstronomicalEvent #BennettEyeInstitute #LoveLife ...
