Solar Eclipse Safety 101 🌒

Published about 1 month ago • 2 min read


Hello Reader,

I hope this message finds you well. Have you heard the buzz about the upcoming solar eclipse? It's one of those awe-inspiring natural events that don't come around too often, and I've been slightly caught up in the excitement myself!

I've been digging into all the dos and don'ts to make sure we all get to enjoy this celestial spectacle without a hitch. And, you know me, I couldn't wait to share all the juicy details with you. So, I've put together a little something that I think you'll find super useful: "12 Essential Safety Tips for an Unforgettable Solar Eclipse Experience." It's a blend of safety, science, and a bit of fun rolled into one. You can check it out right here: Your Unforgettable Solar Eclipse Experience.

Quick Tip: Did you know you can test your solar eclipse glasses for safety by looking at a bright LED light? Only the sun and similarly bright sources should be visible through certified glasses. If you see anything else, those glasses might not be safe!

Now, because I want you to have the best experience, I've got three product recommendations that tie in perfectly with our solar eclipse theme:

  1. ​ISO-Certified Solar Eclipse Glasses: Don't compromise here; safety first! These are the real deal for eye protection. These are the ones I got for my family.
  2. ​Portable Telescope with Solar Filter: If you're feeling a bit adventurous and want a closer look, this is the way to go. Just make sure it's equipped with a solar filter.
  3. Sun-Themed Eclipse Snacks: Okay, not exactly a product, but why not have some fun with sun-shaped cookies or cupcakes to enjoy while you watch? It's all about creating memories, right? I saw that Krispy Kreme has a Total Solar Eclipse donut. There aren't any near me but if there were, I would probably get at least a half-a-dozen to celebrate!

I'd love to hear all about your eclipse plans or if you have any tips of your own to share! Let's make this an experience to remember, safely and joyfully.

Wishing you clear skies and a stunning view,

​
