Solar eclipse glasses let you safely look directly at the Sun during partial phases of a solar eclipse, as well as observe large sunspots with the naked eye. Ordinary sunglasses are never safe for viewing the Sun; only glasses that meet the ISO 12312-2 standard for direct solar viewing should be used.
Explore Scientific's Sun Catcher solar eclipse glasses are rated ISO 12312-2 and are available in single packs, family packs and bulk assortments for schools, astronomy clubs, libraries and eclipse events. Their filter material provides a natural-looking view of the Sun so you can comfortably watch the Moon's silhouette move across the solar disk. Stock up ahead of upcoming eclipses so everyone in your group can enjoy the event safely.
Before using eclipse glasses, inspect them for scratches or damage, supervise children closely, and never look through a telescope, binoculars or camera while wearing eclipse glasses, as concentrated sunlight can damage the filter and your eyes. For telescope viewing, use a dedicated full-aperture solar filter. Bulk packs are a cost-effective way to equip classrooms and community events so everyone can share the experience of an eclipse safely.
