"Protecting Your Eyes: Safely Photographing the Next Solar Eclipse"
TL;DR
Experts advise against using cellphone cameras to take photos of the sun during a solar eclipse, as the intense light can damage the camera lens. Just as special glasses are recommended for eye protection, certified filters are available for both cellphone and larger cameras to protect the lenses. It's important to use designated solar filters and to avoid purchasing eclipse glasses from unreliable sources, such as online marketplaces, and instead opt for certified vendors recommended by the American Astronomical Society.
