With a partial solar eclipse taking place in our skies on March 29, now is the time to invest in some of the best solar binoculars. The event will be visible across North America, as well as parts of Europe and Africa, and will allow you to watch the Moon partially cover the Sun. However, to see it safely, you will need special equipment to protect your eyes.
Sunlight viewing is a dangerous activity, especially during a partial solar eclipse when the sun's rays become more intense. If you want to watch the eclipse, you need to use special protective technology. You can use solar eclipse glasses, but if you want to see it in more detail, solar binoculars are your best choice.
The best solar binoculars differ from regular ones in that they have special filters that are safe for the eyes. Inside the binoculars, all the glass is darkened, which blocks harmful infrared and ultraviolet rays, protecting your eyes from possible damage.
Regular binoculars should never be used to view solar eclipses, so if you have a good pair of stargazing binoculars or your kids have a pair of kid-sized binoculars, make sure they are safely tucked away during this month's partial solar eclipse.
