Commercial Supply 127830 One Size sku-3606296511 Eclipse

Commercial Supply model 127830 is a pack of 50 VisiSolar Solar Eclipse Glasses. The glasses are made in the USA and are described as recognized by the American Astronomical Society. They are designed to filter harmful ultraviolet and infrared radiation during eclipse viewing.

Ordinary sunglasses, however dark, are unsafe for looking at an eclipse; viewing the sun without proper eye protection can severely damage eyesight, including causing blindness. Wearing eclipse glasses can also encourage children and others to use proper eye protection.

A solar eclipse occurs during the day when the new moon passes between Earth and the sun and its path crosses Earth's orbital plane, casting a shadow. It typically lasts a few minutes. In a total eclipse, the moon completely covers the sun in the region under its shadow; in a partial eclipse, it covers only part of the sun; in an annular eclipse, the more distant moon appears smaller, leaving a ring of sunlight.

Eclipses have been recorded for thousands of years. Ancient cultures sometimes interpreted them as omens or messages from gods; today, eclipses offer opportunities to study the sun's corona. The source notes an annular eclipse crossing the United States from Oregon to Texas on October 14, 2023, says 1 in 1 billion people live in its path worldwide, and lists a total eclipse on April 8, 2024, followed by the next total eclipse viewable in the USA on August 23, 2044.
