As a total solar eclipse approaches North America on April 8, amateur photographers are gearing up to capture the rare cosmic event. NASA offers tips for photographing the eclipse, including using eclipse glasses and solar filters to protect eyes and camera equipment, experimenting with different camera settings, finding a good viewing location, and avoiding taking selfies due to potential eye damage. Additionally, photographers are encouraged to capture the unique lighting and surroundings during the eclipse, not just the celestial event itself.
