How to Safely Watch the Solar Eclipse 2025?
To safely observe the eclipse, it is crucial to use proper eye protection, such as eclipse glasses that meet ISO standards. Directly looking at the sun without protection can lead to serious eye damage.
This solar eclipse marks the first of two solar eclipses in 2025 and coincides with significant astrological events, including Saturn's transition into Pisces.
