🌌 Solar eclipses occur when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking all or part of the Sun's light. It's a fascinating astronomical event where the day briefly turns into night, and the sky darkens. However, looking directly at the Sun during an eclipse can cause permanent eye damage or even blindness. This is why wearing ISO-12321-2(E:2015) certified eclipse glasses is crucial for safe viewing.
Remember to prepare ahead of time, protect your eyes, and enjoy the awe-inspiring experience of witnessing a solar eclipse safely!
