While the temptation is great, don’t stare at Monday’s solar eclipse without the right eye protection. That’s according to Dr. Alexandra Konowal who joins Gulf Coast Live today. We’ll ask exactly what makes a solar eclipse so dangerous for eyes and learn how our understanding of its effects has grown since the last total solar blackout- 38 years ago.
We’ll also talk with Heather Preston with the Calusa Nature Center and Planetarium about this rare celestial event and the events the planetarium plans to host.
