Today's Quote:

Recap:

I gave students in all classes the same homework assignment, and since it was our all class day, we went over it in class so students understood what was expected of them. We also discussed the upcoming solar eclipse and the dangers of trying to look at it even for a few seconds without proper protection. Students were amazed to learn that regular sunglasses wouldn't protect your eyes and I discussed the biological mechanisms of pain and how it would normally protect your eyes, but when there is an eclipse, there's not enough light to trigger pain receptors. For that reason people trying to look at an eclipse directly receive the full dose of UVA and UVB radiation destroying Corneal cells in the eye, which do not repair. We went through several methods of ways to view the eclipse using indirect methods such as pin hole projectors, standing under a leafy tree and watching the light on the ground, and other SAFE viewing methods. I reiterated several times that at no time should you even try to glance at the eclipse because the risk of eye damage is too great.
