“Use certified eclipse glasses or a handheld solar viewer designed specifically for looking at the sun, ordinary sunglasses are not sufficient
Before use, check your viewing equipment for any damage and replace it if there are any signs of damage
Children should always be supervised when viewing an eclipse
View a livestream or check your local area for an astronomy club event
Use a homemade pinhole projector to view the eclipse indirectly. https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/advice/solar-eclipse-projection
Never combine eclipse glasses or handheld viewers with cameras, binoculars, telescopes, or other optical equipment, as these devices can intensify sunlight and cause serious eye damage
Never look directly or point a camera, phone, or telescope at the sun
Do not attempt a selfie with the eclipse.”
