The safest patterns may be at your feet.
Project, do not peer
A pinhole projector or natural gaps between leaves can cast changing shapes without directing unprotected eyes at the Sun.
Verify the local circumstances
Visibility, phase, timing, horizon, weather, travel conditions, and current expert guidance must be checked for the exact location.
Protect every direct view
For every direct view during the partial and annular phases, use undamaged eclipse glasses or a handheld viewer that meets ISO 12312-2. Ordinary sunglasses are not safe.
