The solar eclipse of 2024 is quickly approaching. April 8th is the day to look up to experience a solar eclipse or partial eclipse, depending on where you live. But to do that NASA says you need special glasses to protect your eyes.
Millions of people are gathering to experience the solar eclipse in April, but astronomers and experts are warning about fake eclipse glasses being sold online
This could be the first time that some people have seen a solar eclipse, which is why experts tell us it’s important that consumers will need special glasses to protect their eyes.‘It’s kind of a surreal event’“Not a real avid one, but since they’ve been so convenient recently, yeah, I have been trying to chase them down,” Bartel said.He’s been fascinated with science since he was a child. He now manages the largest dome in the state of Virginia to bring the universe to children.
“If you haven’t seen it, it’s kind of hard to appreciate exactly what you see. It’s just kind of a surreal event, it’s in the middle of the day” Bartel said.“You’ll see the shadow across the horizon approaching you, the sun will start getting dimmer and dimmer. The sky gets darker and then at that moment of totality, the whole world kind of changes, all the shadows change, and then disappear when the moon blocks out the sun,” Bartel said.“It’s almost like nothing happened,” he said.
He works within the heliophysics division and studies the nature of the sun and how it influences space. Carcaboso also will be traveling to Texas to see the eclipse.He watched his last partial eclipse from Spain in 2005 and will now be in the path of totality. He said having verified eclipse glasses is necessary.
“Don’t look for any random web page on the internet, just go for certified places where you can actually buy good quality optics,” Carcaboso said.
