You poke a pin through a piece of cardboard. With your back toward the sun, hold the cardboard with the hole so the sun shines through it onto a white piece of paper. You look at the image on the paper to watch the progress of the eclipse. You do not look directly at the sun through the hole! Directly viewing a solar eclipse can lead to ocular damage.
There are filters that can be used to view a solar eclipse. Those are available through scientific supply houses and some retail stores (especially during a rare event).
No, your eyes can be permanently damaged if you look at the solar eclipse for too long.
Solar eclipse(unless you have a special goggle)
there will be a solar eclipse on August 1,2008 but, you cant look at it with out special equipment.
It is dangerous to look directly at a solar eclipse with the naked eyes. Solar eclipse goggles are designed to avoid damaging your eyes while you watch the eclipse taking place.
No it can damage your eyes
Because the solar eclipse is so bright that it can damage or even burn your eyes
You should never look directly at a solar eclipse as it will damage your eyes. Look at it wearing very dark glasses or indirectly in a reflection in water
No, it is not safe to look at a solar eclipse with polarized sunglasses. The polarization of the lenses does not provide enough protection from the harmful rays of the sun during an eclipse. It is recommended to use specially designed solar eclipse glasses to view the event safely.
Yes you can. You only need eye protection for a solar eclipse.
it looks like a black sun or moon
Looking at a solar eclipse without eye protection is basically looking at the sun. The sun emits ultraviolet rays that will damage your retina if you look directly at it. The only time it is safe to look at a solar eclipse is during totality when the sun is completely blocked from view.
