As jaw-dropping and awe-inspiring a total solar eclipse might be, it also has its own dangers. In order to prevent injury and unfortunate circumstances, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has provided a complete guide on what one might need on the day itself, especially for those in the path of totality. Included on the list is a gentle reminder on viewing protection, such as an old welder's helmet or telescopes with solar filters. Sunglasses are not advisable as it does not offer the protection that one might need when looking directly into the sun.
