You can see a solar eclipse with the unguarded eye but it not good for the eye at all. Looking directly at Sol any time is not advised. You can reduce the amount of light with several film negatives stacked together. Make a projector using a telescope and view it on a sheet of paper.

∙ 12y agoIn a solar eclipse there are three stages, the beginning, the total eclipse and the end. during the total eclipse the sun is totally covered and during this time your iris opens up totally to have a brighter view in the dark and when the eclipse passes this stage, sun's radiation enter your eyes and since the iris is totally opened, yours eyes get damaged.

∙ 13y agoYou would certainly be able to see the light from the sun through a telescope,
and that's putting it mildly ! But it would be foolish and dangerous to do it.
Have you ever roasted an ant, or ignited a piece of paper, by focusing a tiny image
of the sun with a magnifying glass ? What happened to the ant or the paper is exactly
what would happen to the inside of your eye if you focused the image of the sun on it.
And don't try doing it for just a little "until you need glasses" either. It only takes
a second for the damage to be done, you don't feel it happen, and all you know is
that you can't see anything in the middle any more.

Why is a rare to observe a solar eclipse?
It is relativley rare to observe a solar eclipse because the sun's light is blocked by the moon
Is it never safe to watch a solar eclipse with a naked eye?
It is safe to look at a solar eclipse with the naked eye only during totality. At any other time you need proper eye protection.

Why is it dangerous to look directly at the moon during a solar eclipse but not during lunar eclipse?
During a lunar eclipse the earth is between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow over the moon. So while you are watching the eclipse there is no danger of accidentally looking directly at the sun. During a solar eclipse the moon passes between the earth and the sun so the moon partially blocks out light from the sun. Thus to watch a solar eclipse requires looking directly at the sun which is very dangerous for the naked eye. So to avoid the risk of serious damage to the eye, you should only observe a solar eclipse using an indirect method.
Is it harmful to go out during solar eclipse?
Yes, it is. However, it is NOT safe to ever look at the sun during a solar eclipse. The moon blocks enough of the direct sunlight so that the irises remain open, but this leaves the eyes vulnerable to radiation dangerous to them. Never observe a solar eclipse with the eyes unprotected. Lunar eclipses are safe to observe with the naked eye.
What safety measures should you observe when you watch a solar eclipse?
do not look at the sun with your naked eyes!!! :)

Presumably a religious or cultural rite? You don't, unless you observe the rite. (We certainly hope that you take a bath more often than once a solar eclipse!)

What will you observe during a total solar eclipse?
A blank sky, with no moon!

Why should you never directly observe a solar eclipse?
A: The sun is very very bright, and if you stare at it you could permanently damage your eyes.
Who was first to discover the solar eclipse?
The first human to observe a solar eclipse was Ugghh the caveman, who was atonished to find such sight while he was still out hunting for antelope.
