SciShow Kids

In this engaging instructional video from SciShow Kids, host Jessi and her robot mouse friend Squeaks explain how to safely view a solar eclipse. The video begins by addressing the excitement surrounding an eclipse but quickly pivots to the critical safety concerns involved with looking directly at the sun. It explains in child-friendly terms why the sun's light is dangerous to human eyes, even when partially covered by the moon, emphasizing that standard sunglasses or naked eyes are not sufficient protection.
