The solar eclipse is happening today on April 8, 2024, so it's time to get ready to snap some eclipse photos if you're in the path of totality. Hold on a second, though — you don't want to just point your phone at the eclipse without any protection. Looking directly at the sun could potentially do permanent damage to your eyes or your phone's camera lens. So proceed with caution, particularly if you are using an expensive new phone.
Here's how to take pictures of the eclipse without ruining your phone's camera.
