There are glasses for observing the sun. It is not advisable to watch the sun for a long time. Try to watch for more than ten seconds at a time, rest for a few minutes, and then continue watching to avoid eye injury.

In addition, people can watch meteor showers after the total solar eclipse. It is reported that there will be a Perseid meteor shower across the northern sky of China from 4 am to 65 am on August 3rd, so people can find a relatively empty place to watch the beautiful meteor shower.
