Eclipse glasses, crucial for safely viewing solar events, feature lenses with special-purpose filters that block harmful radiation. These filters shield eyes from intense sunlight. Over time, the protective coating degrades because of environmental factors. As a result, American Astronomical Society (AAS) and ISO 12312-2 international safety standard establish guidelines to ensure viewers always use glasses … Read more
The sun, a massive star, possesses finite life expectancy. Nuclear fusion, a powerful energy source, fuels the sun currently. Eventually, the sun will exhaust hydrogen supply. The exhaustion of hydrogen supply initiates a red giant phase. In this phase, the sun expands significantly. After the red giant phase, the sun will transform into a white … Read more
