Solar Eclipse Observation Through Protective Filter

Solar Eclipse Observation Through Protective Filter

Sunday, January 18th, 2026 at 12:28:40 AM · 2026/Chabot Space and Science Center

A close-up photograph shows someone holding a circular gray solar filter up to the sky, with the sun visible through a small circular aperture in the center. The filter appears to be made of a protective material designed for safe solar observation. Through the viewing port, the sun is visible with what appears to be sunspots or other solar features. The image is taken outdoors under a bright, partly cloudy sky, likely during a solar observation event at the Chabot Space and Science Center.
