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.

How do you view an eclipse?
Well first you go outside. Then you look up at the sky. Now a lunar eclipse involves the moon and a solar involves the sun. I have personally seen a lunar eclipse. The moon's surface turns a dark brown because of Earth's shadow. A solar eclipse is much more interesting. During a solar, the moon moves in front of the sun covering everything but the rim called the corona. Wear sunglasses when viewing a solar eclipse.
