Coetioa Urged
In Watchiag
Solar Eclipse
Spokesman for- the
University of North Carolin's
Morehead Planetarium caution
that the solar Eclipse of March
7th to be of variable degree
and visibility throughout
eastern United States, will be
dangerous to watch without
adequate protection for the
eyes.
Devices such as regular
sunglasses, smoked glass, or
cross-polarized elements do not
filter out the Sun's powerful
and invisible energy which can
spontaneously cause internal
eye burns and permanent
damage without the victim
being alerted to what is
happening.
The Eastman Kodak
Company prints a pamphlet
entitled Solar Eclipse
Photography for the Amateur
(available free from Kodak) in
which is stated:
"Medical authorities
indicate that a neutral density
filter of metallic silver, such as
developed photographic film,
of at least 6.0 density will
provide adequate protection,
for VISUAL USE ONLY. Such
filters are not suitable for
photographic use. Place the
niter IN FRONT OF your eyes
before facing the sun. Such a
filter can be made with two
thicknesses of black-and-white
(not color) photographic film,
such as Koddc Verichrome Pan
Film, which has been
completely exposed and
developed to maximum
density. The film can be
completely exposed by
unrolling it and subjecting it to
daylight. Develop the exposed
film fully, according to the
manufacturer's
recommendations."
To this, Planetarium
officials add that by fastening
the two thicknesses securely
together over a small hole in a
large piece of cardboard,
additional "fringe" area
protection is afforded the
viewer at those critical times
when he turns toward or away
from his line of sight to the
Sun, or if his arm is
accidentally nudged by
someone else while he is
viewing the progress of the
eclipse.
The Planetarium is offering
a special program about the
eclipse to school groups and
the public. The program is
