The celestial event of the year, a total solar eclipse, is happening on Monday, April 8, 2024! A total solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, completely blocking the face of the Sun. While you might be tempted to catch a glimpse between sets or during your cool-down, it’s crucial to prioritize your eye safety. Staring directly at the sun, even during an eclipse, can cause permanent damage to your vision.
Your well-being is our top concern, so we wanted to share some safe viewing tips courtesy of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA):
Remember, your eye health and skin health are essential for enjoying all your favorite fitness activities. Embrace the excitement of the eclipse while prioritizing safety.
