No! Do not try to improvise dark goggles or glasses to view the solar eclipse. It only takes a split-second to burn your eyes. and they do not grow back!
The safest way to view a solar eclipse is with an indirect eclipse viewer. Directions for building one are at the link below.
No, you cannot not. The sun's rays are very damaging to the eyes. Looking at the sun, even when it is being eclipsed is not safe. The one exception to this rule is during a total eclipse ... but only during totality. The best filter is exposed x-ray film, it's totally black. But hospitals are starting to not use film.

∙ 11y agoA solar eclipse can be an event to remember, especially if you are fortunate enough to be present for a total eclipse. However, it is important to take care of your eyes when you watch a solar eclipse, as the sunlight can cause serious retinal damage. Fortunately, there are a number of safe ways to watch a solar eclipse, ranging from wearing special glasses to using indirect observation through a so-called pinhole camera.
Most people are aware that looking directly at the sun is dangerous, since the light can cause retinal burns. If someone looks at the sun long enough, these burns can actually cause blindness. During a partial or annular eclipse, the light from the sun is still bright enough to hurt your eyes, even though the world is darker than usual. During a total eclipse, it is technically safe to look at the sun directly, but as soon as the eclipse moves out of totality, you can damage your eyes.
If you want to be able to look directly at the sun during an eclipse, you will need special glasses. Unlike sunglasses, eclipse glasses filter out more of the sun's rays, making it safe to look at the sun directly for several minutes. Heavy duty welding glasses can also be used as eclipse glasses, if you have access to a set. Many science stores sell eclipse glasses, and observatories sometimes hand them out to groups who gather to watch a solar eclipse

∙ 11y agoNO you are not supposed to be able to see directly... but I THINK if you build something with a mirror and some shade and stuff u can look at that and see it.

How do you make a solar eclipse?
You dont make it. A solar eclipse is when the moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, partially blocking it or completely blocking it, which is known as a total solar eclipse. When this happens the light bursts out the sides creating an annulus, or ring of light. Here is a video of a total solar eclipse: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWBmKQRQsks&feature=related The annulus is at 2:22
Can you make solar eclipse glasses?
ya..take a huge chunklet of cardboard n cut a square in the center then tape tin foil over it. p.s. it not a full solar eclipse c; so yuh might not need them..its only an annular one.good day mate.
What is the eclipse path of solar eclipse?
The path of totality for a solar eclipse is different for every eclipse, because even tiny changes in the alignment of the Earth and Moon make a big difference. The NASA eclipse web site calculates the path for each eclipse, at the link below.
Why is a Solar Eclipse So Dangerous?
If you are referring to you eyes, no, definitely not. A SOLAR eclipse is what is dangerous to look at, because the moon is in front of the sun. In a lunar eclipse the sun is in front of the moon. The logic might seem kinda backwards, but it all adds up to the single word that NO, lunar eclipses ARE NOT DANGEROUS.
Does the moon make a solar eclipse?
Yes, when it comes between the sun and the earth.
Are solar eclipse glasses similar to 3d glasses?
yah. pretty similar shape. i have looked at a solar eclipse before and it was so cool! :D p.s. never look directly at a solar eclipse, it will burn your cornea and make you blind :(

Will looking at a eclipse make you blind?
Solar eclipse can make you blind, but the lunar eclipse won't.
When the moon blocks the sun what kind of eclipse does it make?
A Solar Eclipse.

Can you make a wish when you see an eclipse?
If you want to. But don't look directly at the eclipse (if it's a solar eclipse.)
What materials could you use to make a model of a solar eclipse?
The materials you could use to make a model of a solar eclipse are:Small appleLarge handful of clayTwo pencilsNotebookPencilLamp
What date did a solar eclipse make someone blind?
A solar eclipse has never made anyone blind. STARING DIRECTLY AT THE SUN can blind you.

Where can you find solar eclipse glasses?
The glasses distributed to movie-goers for a 3D film are not dark enough to viewa solar eclipse. They are only for combining the images that the film duplicatesonto the movie screen.DO NOT USE 3D GLASSES TO LOOK AT THE SUN. YOU WILL BE BLINDED!Sometimes, a planetarium will sell eclipse glasses, which are black plastic lensesin a cardboard frame. These are safe, but they are specifically made for the purposeof protecting your retinas from the power of the sun. Don't try to jerry-rig anythingin substitute. You will be hurt.Sunglasses, CDs or DVDs, even a regular welder's helmet is not enough to protect you.#14 Welders glass can be used, but you have to purchase that, of course, specially.Either have the special eclipse glasses, which should be so dark that whilewearing them you can see nothing other than the sun, or make an indirectpin-hole projector to see the image of the sun.Don't look at the sun. It will irrevocably damage your eyes.
