The total solar eclipse has officially ended, but not after showing millions of people across North America the beauty of the universe, and many are now wondering what they can do about their solar eclipse glasses.
The American Astronomical Society (AAS) said that eclipse glasses that meet a specific safety standard, known as ISO 12312-2, are safe to reuse.
This means that the same glasses worn during the 2024 cosmic event can still protect a person’s eyes during the next total solar eclipse, expected to occur in 2026.

That particular solar event will be visible over Greenland, Iceland, Spain, Russia, and a small portion of Portugal. It will also appear as a partial eclipse in several parts of Africa, Europe, and North America.
