NASA has shared some photography tips for folks keen to record next month’s solar eclipse — and they don’t all involve capturing the eclipse itself.
Nikon recently shared some tips on how to photograph April’s total solar eclipse, and NASA is also offering its own ideas.
The total solar eclipse will take place on April 8 and folks in the U.S. have a great opportunity to witness this extraordinary celestial event. A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon comes between the sun and Earth, momentarily blocking the sun’s rays and casting a huge shadow across a part of our planet.
Next month’s eclipse will be best viewed from a stretch of land running from Maine in the northeast of the U.S. all the way to Texas in the south.
While many people will want to simply don a pair of eclipse specs to enjoy the experience, others will want to record the event by photographing it.
NASA recently shared a number of tips on how to grab the best shots of April’s total solar eclipse.
First, the agency says to be sure to put safety first by wearing eclipse glasses, which will protect your eyes by reducing the glare of the sun.
