During the annular solar eclipse of 2023, the moon is closest to the earth and the moon is 400 times smaller than the sun, but the sun is 400 times farther away; because of this, you will get a perfect shadow of the moon going in between us and the sun.
In our area, the moon will be covering 84% of the sun. Maximum visibility will be at 11:58 A.M. Saturday.“You think you can because the light is very much dimmed compared to normal sunlight. It’s actually dangerous to your eye, and the reason is because when you have the eclipse, you’re decreasing the amount of light that gets to your eye, so your pupil actually dilates and so you’re actually getting more of the harmful infrared rays and all that which are not blocked out by the moon,” Dr.
“That’s the particular number that was assigned for the certification for lenses that protect you from the light rays that occur during an eclipse,” Dr. Pundit said.Even just one time of looking at the sun without proper eyewear can make you go blind, “So, that’s why it’s of critical importance to really take all precautions when you’re enjoying the eclipse, to not permanently ruin your vision for the rest of your life,” Dr. Pundit said.
