NASA reminds people that pointing cellphones directly at the sun during the solar eclipse can damage the phone's sensor. They recommend using a proper solar filter or holding eclipse glasses in front of the phone's lenses when taking photos of the sun.

If you're planning to take pictures of the solar eclipse on Monday, NASA is here to remind you that aiming your cellphone directly at the sun might come with some consequences.

"The best practice would be to hold a pair of eclipse glasses in front of your phone’s lenses when photographing the sun at any point other than totality," NASA stated. At the end of the day, NASA reassures us that any camera will do the trick—you just need to handle it with care. And don't forget, the best photos come from those spontaneous, candid moments!
