Certified glasses to watch the solar eclipse in Mallorca

Will there be a solar eclipse visible in Mallorca this August?

In August, Mallorca will be one of the places from which a partial solar eclipse can be seen, a rare astronomical phenomenon that arouses great interest.

⚠️ Looking at the sun without proper protection can cause serious and irreversible eye damage, even if only for a few seconds.

For this reason, only glasses specifically designed and certified for solar observation should be used.

Approved glasses for viewing the solar eclipse in Mallorca

Why don't normal sunglasses work?

Conventional sunglasses, even the darkest or polarized ones, do not protect against direct solar radiation when you look at an eclipse.

Solar eclipse glasses:

  • Filter out more than 99.999% of solar radiation
  • Block ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) radiation
  • Reduce the intensity of the light to safe levels

Using uncertified filters can cause:

  • burns to the retina
  • macular damage
  • permanent loss of vision
