Best Answer

If you ever want to observe the Sun, DON'T watch it directly; it is way to bright and may harm your eyes. Also, DON'T look at it directly through a telescope or binoculars; that's even more dangerous. You can project an image, with a telescope, onto a sheet of paper or some other white object.

How is a lunar and solar eclipse alike?

Both lunar and solar eclipses are the result of positioning 3 astronomical bodies (earth, sun and moon) in a straight line relative to the observer. A solar eclipse is observed when the sun, moon, and earth are positioned in a straight line with an observer on the earth. A lunar eclipse is observed when the sun, earth, and moon are in a straight line with an observer on the earth. A lunar eclipse, as observed by an observer on the earth would appear as a solar eclipse as observed by an observer on the moon.

Why can the sun's corona only be observed during an eclipse?

Actually, the solar corona can be observed at ANY time, if you have the proper equipment. This device, called a coronagraph, creates its own eclipses by blocking the direct light from the Sun and allowing the corona to be observed. The problem is that the Sun is so insanely brilliant that things that are merely "a little bright" are invisible in comparison. When the Moon blocks the direct view of the Sun, then the corona (which is much larger) is finally able to be seen.
