No. The only possible danger would come from looking directly at a solar eclipse, which can damage your eyes.

There is no danger in looking at a lunar eclipse. Looking at a solar eclipse without protection can damage your eyes.

The eclipse itself cannot damage your retinas. However, looking directly at the sun, as one might be tempted to do during an eclipse, can indeed cause damage.
Can you die from the solar eclipse?
No. Looking directly at the sun can damage your vision, but it can't kill you.

Looking directly at a solar eclipse would entail looking directly at the sun. The ultraviolet rays and the sheer intensity of the light can damage your eyes.

Can you tell if you caused damage to your eyes by looking at the solar eclipse?
Yes, looking at the sun can cause optic nerve damage. This damage is most easily detected by noticing a loss in peripheral vision. If you notice tunnel vision or a decrease in your wide angle vision after viewing a solar eclipse consult an eye doctor immediately for treatment.

You could use the mirror to reflect the image onto something, like a piece of cardboard. You should not look directly at the mirror, as that is just as dangerous as looking directly at the eclipse.
Why do you go blind when you look at the solar eclipse?
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.
Isnt true that eclipse can effect your life?
Eclipses themselves will not have any effect on your life. An eclipse is no different from night. Philosophically, the emotions that you feel while viewing an eclipse can be quite powerful. And if you are staring at the eclipsed Sun during a solar eclipse, the moment at which the Moon moves to reveal the Sun, the sunlight can seriously damage your eyes, but that's true of any time when you stare directly at the Sun.
Where do you have to look during a lunar eclipse?
I would suggest looking at the Moon, so you don't lose out on the show. There is no danger in doing this, since the Moon is not particularly bright. On the other hand, looking directly at the Sun - during a solar eclipse, or at any other time - CAN damage your eyes.
