Over 300 residents of Gines enjoyed the solar eclipse at the Estadio Nuevo San José with ISO 12312-2 certified glasses provided free by the Town Hall.
The Estadio Nuevo San José in Gines became a prime viewing spot for the solar eclipse this Wednesday. More than 300 residents gathered to experience the astronomical phenomenon in a family-friendly atmosphere with all safety guarantees.
The Town Hall of Gines distributed certified glasses with ISO 12312-2 certification and CE marking for free, an essential requirement for observing the sun without damaging one's eyesight. Thanks to this initiative, attendees were able to follow the eclipse from both the stands and the pitch of the stadium.
The event generated great anticipation and even attracted regional media, who reported on the activity organized by the council. The distribution of certified glasses was key to ensuring the day proceeded safely.
For many residents, it was a unique opportunity to share such a scientific event together, a gathering that, according to the Town Hall, will remain in the memory of the participants. This initiative is part of the scientific outreach actions promoted by the municipality to bring these phenomena closer to the public.
The council reminds that observing an eclipse without proper protection can cause serious eye injuries, so they recommend always consulting official sources to acquire certified glasses. The next notable astronomical event will be a partial lunar eclipse, expected in the coming months.
