How to Make Solar Eclipse Glasses
Safely View Saturday's Solar Eclipse
Step-by-Step Guide to DIY Solar Eclipse Glasses
With the upcoming solar eclipse on Saturday, it's crucial to have appropriate eye protection to safely view this celestial event. In this guide, we'll provide easy instructions for making your own DIY solar eclipse glasses using readily available materials.
To make your glasses, you'll need the following:
- ISO-certified solar film
- Repurposed cardboard glasses or paper
- Scissors
- Tape
Follow these steps:
- Cut a rectangular piece of solar film slightly larger than the opening of your cardboard glasses or the size of your paper.
- For repurposed cardboard glasses, insert the solar film inside the lenses, ensuring it's taut and securely held in place.
- For paper glasses, fold the paper in half and create a small hole in the center. Place the solar film over the hole and tape it tightly around the edges.
Remember to keep your solar eclipse glasses stored in a dark place when not in use to prevent damage to the solar film. Discard your glasses after the eclipse to avoid accidental eye exposure to the naked sun.
By following these instructions, you can safely witness the solar eclipse while protecting your eyes from harmful solar radiation.
