Solar Eclipse Can Damage Your Phone Sensor Nasa Confirmed Heres how to prevent this all details

The first solar eclipse of 2024 is going to be held on 8 April today. This will be a Total Solar Eclipse, which will dark day -to -day areas for several minutes. After this incident, the next full solar eclipse in the same area will not be seen for the next two decades. During the solar eclipse, looking at the sun directly from the naked eyes can give permanent damage to the retina and the eyes, to avoid which special glasses should be used or some special devices should be used. But many people also have the question in the mind that capturing this activity from the phone at the time of eclipse can prove to be harmful for the camera sensor of the phone? NASA itself has answered this question.A popular YouTuber Marcus Brownli (MKBHD) asked a common, but very important question, which many people around the world had to know for many years, but no strong answer was yet received. On X, YouTuber showed interest and asked to ask the eclipse directly from the smartphone, could its camera sensor reach damage? Which NASA himself answered. MKBHD wrote in his post, “I could not get a definite answer throughout my life whether the sensor would be spoiled by pointing to the smartphone on solar eclipse?”

I cannot for the life of me find a definitive answer to white or not pointing a smartphone at the solar eclipse will fry the sensor

Tempted to just take a phone I don’t need and point it at the sun for 5 minutes to find out the real answer myself. In the name of science

It may be that he would have expected some experts to get the answer, but here he got the answer not to anyone else, but from the American space agency NASA. NASA says that there is a great possibility that keeping the camera directly towards the sun can have a bad effect. To know the answer, NASA resorted to the team of its NASA HQ Photo Department.The agency replied with its official handle and wrote, “We asked our @nasahqphoto team and answer yes, the phone sensor can be damaged like any other photo sensor if it is directly pointed to the sun. This is especially true if you are using any type of magnifying lens attachment on the phone. He further wrote, “The best practice would be that while taking a picture of the Sun at any time, place an eclipse glasses in front of your phone’s lens.”

We asked our @Nasahqphoto Team, and the answer is yes, the phone sensor could be damaged just like any other image sensor if it’s pointed directly at the sun. This is especially true if you’re using any sort of magnifying lens attachment on the phone. You would need to utilize…

This tweet by NASA makes it very clear to see the sun with naked eyes at the time of eclipse, it is dangerous for the eyes, as well as if you point the camera of your smartphone directly towards it, then your phone’s camera sensor will also be very likely to deteriorate. In such a situation, use the eclipse glasses used for the eyes for the camera sensor.

People in India and other countries except North America today cannot see full solar eclipse physically. However, these people can see it online. NASA will start its live stream at GMT (Indian time at 10:30 pm Indian time) on 8 April and will continue till GMT (IST) at 8:00 pm. You can see the stream here.
