Eclipse Shade Instructions
While you should use our solar eclipse safety glasses to view the partial phases of total eclipses, you can view the sun safely without any eye protection only during the total phase of an eclipse. Once the sun is completely obscured by the moon, you can view it with the naked eye to explore the corona, chromosphere, and prominences. Once the totality ends, you must put your glasses back on! Totality length of time will vary, depending on your location.
Please do not use our glasses with other optical technology such as cameras, binoculars, finder scopes, or telescopes. Young children should be under adult supervision at all times while using this product.
Oh, this is so wrong!!!
