As the once-in-a-lifetime total solar eclipse approaches, we reached out to local educators to learn their thoughts on this unique event. Mr. Kyle Rose, a Science Instructor at Ohio Hi-Point Career Center, explained that a total solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and Earth, completely covering the sun and casting a shadow on our planet, causing darkness for a short period of time.
Mrs. Leslie Bradley, a Biology Teacher at Ohio Hi-Point Career Center, emphasized the importance of not looking at the eclipse without proper eye protection. She explained that staring directly at the sun can cause serious damage to the retina in the back of your eye, which is responsible for sending signals to your brain to interpret what you see. Even though the total eclipse involves the sun being covered, it is still necessary to use protective glasses while observing this phenomenon.
As with any special event, it’s crucial to remember that safety should always be a top priority when witnessing a total solar eclipse. Make sure you have appropriate eye protection and follow all safety guidelines in order to fully enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
