staring at the sun < staring at the sun safely 😎 On Monday, vt_science is hosting an event for #Hokies to view the solar eclipse on the Drillfield. Blacksburg is expected to see 88 percent totality. Eclipse glasses will be available while supplies last. ☀️ “It’s important to remember, while it may be tempting to take a look at the sun without safety glasses, even at mid-eclipse viewing the sun with unprotected eyes at any time can damage a person’s vision.” — #VirginiaTech astrophysicist Nahum Arav Event details in bio. 🗓️
