@Regrann from @abc7la – Don’t miss the solar eclipse on Monday! A solar eclipse is a rare weather phenomenon that is a sight to behold, but viewing an eclipse can be harmful to your eyes if the right precautions are not taken. Looking directly at the sun can cause permanent damage to your eyes. Special-purpose solar filters are necessary when looking at the sun, including during a partial eclipse. Another method to view the sun safely is by using a pinhole projector. Instead of looking directly at the sun, a pinhole projector casts a shadow and shows an image of the sun through a small hole. Watch “The Great American Eclipse” with David Muir, Monday 10am-noon on ABC7. Share your eclipse adventures with #abc7eyewitness!
