What happens when you stare at a lunar eclipse?

Answer 1

Since solar eclipses go by quickly, people stare too long and because their pupils are large too let in more light because of the darkness, the sun comes back quickly and all that light goes into your big pupil before it has the chance to get smaller, therefore your retina pretty much gets burned out.

Answer 2

Nothing at all but in the book Tangerine a boy was once Called Eclipse Boy because when he was 5 his brother said that he stared at a lunar eclipse too long and it almost blinded him fully and now he wears really thick glasses. But it's okay it wont happen to you and that's not what really happened for him to get his glasses.

Answer 3

First off, you shouldn't stare at a solar eclipse at all, not even with sunglasses. This is because during an eclipse, the sun's UV rays are brighter and stronger than normal. During a solar eclipse, it becomes darker because the moon has moved in front of the sun, and therefore our pupils (the black part of our eyes) becomes bigger to let in as much light as possible during the eclipse. While your pupils are adjusting, though, they are also taking in much more of the UV rays with can permanently damage your eyes and even cause total blindness; the rays burn the cells in your eyes - located in the retina - that help you see.

So, to put it simply, staring at a solar eclipse can make you go blind, and if not it can still cause severe and permanent damage to your eyes.
