That is the warning facing people across Spain with just two days to go before the total solar eclipse on Wednesday, August 12, after consumer authorities ordered six models of eclipse glasses to be withdrawn from the market over concerns about eye safety. Ordenan la retirada de seis modelos de gafas para el eclipse solar por riesgo de lesiones oculares. Proper solar viewing filters are covered by the international ISO 12312-2 standard, which specifically applies to products intended for direct observation of the Sun, including solar eclipse glasses. Anyone outside the narrow path of totality must keep proper solar protection in place throughout the eclipse. Wyndham’s story is, of course, science fiction, and there is no suggestion that Wednesday’s solar eclipse could cause anything remotely like that.
