Engineered with Baader's renowned AstroSolar® film, these viewers are the definitive solution for watching the partial phases of a solar eclipse or tracking large sunspot groups, and are available individually or in packs of 10, 25 and 100 pieces for families, schools, clubs, and retailers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSafely Observe Partial Eclipses and Sunspots\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese viewers are designed for one purpose: to let you look directly at the Sun with your own eyes, safely. During a solar eclipse, you can follow the entire event as the Moon slowly covers the Sun, from first contact to the final moments before totality. Between eclipses, the viewers are sharp enough to reveal large, complex sunspots without any magnification, and the graphics printed on the viewers illustrate solar phenomena, making them an educational tool for groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAstroSolar Silver\/Gold Film: The Baader Planetarium Difference\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike many eclipse glasses that use black polymer, Baader uses their own German-made AstroSolar® Silver\/Gold film.
