NOTE: Solar eclipses occur once or twice a year. On April 8, 2024, the Moon will completely cover the sun during an awe-inspiring Total Solar Eclipse. Observers within the path of totality will witness the sun’s dazzling corona, the “diamond ring” effect, and day turn to night.

Important Safety Warning: Only observe the sun with ISO-compliant eye protection, such as the filter found in this product. Never look directly at the sun with the naked eye or a non-filtered optic. Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result. Never tamper with or remove the permanently placed glass filters in this optic. Never remove your eye protection when looking directly at the sun during partial phases of a solar eclipse. Adult supervision required at all times.
