It might sound obvious, but it’s worth repeating:
Scientists are warning about the dangers of eye damage if you look at Monday’s solar eclipse without special solar glasses.
In Arizona, we’re only getting a partial eclipse, so the moon will never fully block the sun and its damaging rays.
In Arizona, “there will be no point during this eclipse where you can look at it with your eyes safely,” said Evan Scannapieco, an associate professor with Arizona State University’s School of Earth and Space Exploration.
The sun isn’t more dangerous to look at during an eclipse than other times, he said. But you are more likely to try to stare at the sun longer during an eclipse, increasing the likelihood of eye damage.
Sunglasses, even dark ones, don’t provide enough protection against the eclipse.
The safest route is to wear eclipse glasses, making sure they have an ISO certification of 12312-2. That will block the ultraviolet and infared rays.

The American Astronomical Society has compiled a list of vendors that provide the glasses. If you don’t have eclipse glasses yet, call your nearest grocery store or hardware store or large retail store first to see if they still have eclipse glasses in stock. Some retailers are reporting they are out of glasses because demand has been so great.
It’s also not safe to put on eclipse glasses and then look through a camera, a telescope or binoculars. NASA officials said the concentrated solar rays will penetrate your eyes and cause serious injury.
If you can’t find eclipse glasses, your safest bet is to watch the eclipse over the internet. NASA is airing four hours of coverage, beginning at 9 a.m. Arizona time on Monday, Aug. 21, at: nasa.gov/eclipselive.
The eclipse begins at 9:13 a.m. Arizona time on Monday with the peak — or maximum coverage — at 10:33 a.m. The eclipse will be over at noon.
