reminder to NOT look at the solar eclipse on monday without glasses specifically certified!!! you know how if you hold a magnifying glass up to the sun, the intensity is enough to start a fire??? same concept applies with the lens in your eye except it burns a hole into your retina instead…… I know you’re probably like “it’s for like 20 seconds so what” but even fractions of a second can do irreversible damage so plz protect your eyeballs!!!
your retinas don’t have pain receptors!! so you might think you’re okay bc you aren’t in any pain but you will NOT be okay. use eclipse glasses or don’t look up at all!!
