Don't look at the Sun unless you have some very dark filters. Don't look at the Sun through a telescope, not even with dark filters. You can project the image from the telescope on a white sheet of paper and view it there.
Potential blindness
We see a solar eclipse, when the moon passes across the sun, because of where we are viewing the phenomena from.
The best eye protection during a solar eclipse is the care to avoid looking at the sun.
There is nothing inherently harmful about a solar eclipse. The only problem is that you might be tempted to look at it. If you do this without proper protection, except at totality, the light from the sun can damage your eyes.
It is safe to look at a solar eclipse with the naked eye only during totality. At any other time you need proper eye protection.
Potential blindness
It is o.k. to view a lunar eclipse, because unlike a solar eclipse you are not viewing direct sunlight which can be harmful and blinding but rather reflected light. When viewing a lunar eclipse you would see even less light than viewing a full moon which we know is safe.
As with everything, use the proper equipment for maximum safety. If viewing via a telescope, project the image onto a sheet of paper. Do NOT look directly at the eclipse, even at totality.To protect your eyes you can use a welding glass, a telescope with full aperture solar filter or the same with binoculars you can also use mylar solar film.
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.

eclipse is of two kinds- solar eclipse and lunar eclipse

You go blind without a proper filter. AT A NEW MOON YOU CAN SEE A SOLAR ECLIPSE. THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE THE MOON BLOCKS THE SUN CASTING A SHADOW ON THE EARTH.
