A total solar eclipse is expected to occur on August 12, which is considered one of the most spectacular astronomical phenomena this year.
The eclipse will be clearly visible in various parts of Europe, with Spain being one of the places where the final phase will be visible.
As happens in such phenomena, people are inclined to film such rare moments, but this also poses a risk to phones as exposing the phone’s camera to the sun can cause damage by increasing the temperature of the camera module.
This is why it is not recommended to film this process for minutes without protection.
If you plan to film the Sun for an extended period of time, you should use a solar filter appropriate for the phone device you are using.
The ISO 12312-2 standard relates to filters for direct human observation of the Sun, specifically glasses and filters for solar viewing.
A clear view of the eclipse will also be in France where, across the country, including Paris, more than 90% of the disk will be hidden. Experts describe it as a breathtaking view where the maximum phase will occur at full sunset.
