Focus Solar Eclipse Glasses with ND5 filter film (SKU: 116175) offer a simple and affordable way to observe the solar disc directly with the unaided eye. The ND5 filter material strongly reduces the intensity of sunlight and blocks harmful ultraviolet and infrared radiation.
The nearest total solar eclipse will take place on 12 August 2026. The path of totality will pass through, among other locations, Iceland and Spain, while in Poland the event will be visible as a partial eclipse. The next total solar eclipse will occur on 2 August 2027 and will be visible, among other locations, in the regions of Gibraltar, Morocco, Libya, Tunisia, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Its partial phase will also be visible from Poland.
Due to the high level of interest that usually appears immediately before an eclipse, it is worth obtaining the glasses well in advance, especially when planning family, school or group observations.
