Eclipse Total de Sol | Visor de Sol Interactivo

NUNCA es seguro mirar directamente al Sol, incluso durante un eclipse parcial. ¡Pero eso no significa que no puedas ver bien lo que está sucediendo! Una forma de proteger tus ojos y aún ver un eclipse es proyectar imágenes del Sol utilizando un pedazo de papel y tus propias manos. Si usas esta técnica, puedes obtener una buena imagen del eclipse solar y al mismo tiempo cuidarás a tus ojos para poder disfrutar de muchos eclipses más.
