Whether it's a partial solar eclipse or a total lunar eclipse, using those funky-looking glasses is key to enjoying the spectacle safely. Here's a quick rundown on how to use eclipse glasses properly.
First things first, make sure your eclipse glasses are certified and reputable. Safety is top priority, so don't settle for shady knock-offs.

So there you have it β a quick guide to using eclipse glasses like a pro. Get ready to witness a jaw-dropping alignment of celestial bodies, all while keeping those precious peepers safe and sound.
