Time for Surya Grahan: Keep These Do’s and Don’t on Mind
Here are the do’s and don’ts that one must adhere to during the solar eclipse:
- According to NASA, people should use special-purpose solar filters or ‘eclipse glasses’ to protect their eyes. Even during a common day, people are suggested to not look directly at the Sun, without any filter.
- NASA does not advise using homemade filters or any ordinary sunglasses. According to the space agency, the darkest pair of sunglasses will still transmit far too much sunlight, which can easily damage the eyes.
- People are suggested to remove their shielding glasses if you have turned your face away from the eclipse or when the eclipse is over.
- Those with special interest in space events, might want to capture the ring of fire with their cameras. But scientists don’t advise to do so. There are high chances that the concentrated solar rays might cause injury to the eyes of the looker.
- People who are near or farsighted can wear their eclipse glasses over their day-to-day glasses in order to view the eclipse.
- Children who are willing to watch the solar eclipse must be under parental supervision.
- With solar eclipse in place, people are suggested to drive with their headlights on and keep the speed in control.
- They are also advised to maintain a good distance from other vehicles. READ

HERE’S ALL THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT OCTOBER 25, 2022 SOLAR ECLIPSE
WHAT IS A SOLAR ECLIPSE?
For those who are unfamiliar with the celestial/astrological occurrence, a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth at precisely the appropriate time. As a result, the moon obscures the Sun, preventing its rays from reaching the Earth.
This entire phenomenon is known as a solar eclipse. Solar eclipses are classified into four types: total, annular, partial, and hybrid. Furthermore, four eclipses will occur in 2022, two partial solar eclipses and two total lunar eclipses, the same ratio as last year. Solar eclipses are classified into four types: total, annular, partial, and hybrid.
WHAT IS A PARTIAL SOLAR ECLIPSE?
Partial solar eclipse occur when the sun and moon are not perfectly aligned in a straight line. The sun gets a crescent shape as though the moon has taken a bite of it. The Moon reflects only the outer part of the shadow called the penumbra on Earth.
