yes because the sun is not completlpt out therefore, it cannot harm your eyes the way it normally would.

Actually, that is both incorrect and correct. It ddepends on what kind of eclipse it it. If it is a solar eclipse, than no because than the sun is very bright. If it is a lunar eclipse, than you can. Lunar eclipses actually make the moon red.. Its cool

Well, it is never safe to look directly up in the sky. A solar eclipse will gradually pass, but you sometimes might not have time to look away. That causes you to look directly in the sun, and when you look away it is too late. During a lunar eclipse, the earth covers the moon, so looking up at the sky would mean looking at the sun, so either could be harmful.

Is it alright to look directly at the Sun during an eclipse?

No. Not without protection. It is only safe to look at an eclipse with the naked eye during totality.


Should you look directly at the sun?

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.


Is it safe to look at an eclipse with polarized sunglasses?

No, it is not safe to look at an eclipse with polarized sunglasses. The sunglasses do not provide enough protection for your eyes during an eclipse. It is recommended to use special eclipse glasses that are designed to protect your eyes from the harmful rays of the sun.


How can you look at an eclipse without hurting your eyes?

You do NOT directly look at a partial eclipse. For a total eclipse you can look directly at the eclipse, during totality. Once the 'diamond ring' effect is seen you must look away. To observe an elcipse, total ort partial , use a pin-hole camera. A pin-hole camera is two pieces of white card , one with a pin-hole in it. With you back to the sun/eclipse, hold the two cards towards the Sun/Eclipse, with the pin-hole card nearest the Sun/Eclipse. The pin-hole card should project the light on to the second card, so you can see the total/partial eclipse on the second card. It is possible to use welders visor glass, but not recommended. Astronomers use special darkened lenses in order to have direct photographs of the Sun/Eclipse. As mentioned above do NOT look directly at the Sun/Eclipse. You will 'burn' yours eyes out. !!!!!! Blind yourself.!!!!!


Is it safe to view the eclipse with sunglasses?

No, it is not safe to view the eclipse with sunglasses. Sunglasses do not provide enough protection for your eyes when looking directly at the sun during an eclipse. It is recommended to use special eclipse glasses or other certified solar viewing devices to safely view the eclipse.


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.


Is it safe to look at a solar eclipse with polarized sunglasses?

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.


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.


Why should you never look directly at the sun during an eclipse?

Even though it "seems safe" because the sun is blocked by the moon, the UV Light that you can't see can still cause retina damage.
