Can you look at a solar eclipse without it hurting you?
You should never look directly at a solar eclipse as it will damage your eyes. Look at it wearing very dark glasses or indirectly in a reflection in water
Why is it dangerous to look at a solar eclipse with your unprotected eye?
The sun emits such intense light that it can damage your eyes if you look directly at it.
Why is a Solar Eclipse So Dangerous?
If you are referring to you eyes, no, definitely not. A SOLAR eclipse is what is dangerous to look at, because the moon is in front of the sun. In a lunar eclipse the sun is in front of the moon. The logic might seem kinda backwards, but it all adds up to the single word that NO, lunar eclipses ARE NOT DANGEROUS.
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.
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.
Can you make a wish when you see an eclipse?
If you want to. But don't look directly at the eclipse (if it's a solar eclipse.)

Can people be outside while an eclipse?
Yes. But don't look at the Sun directly (assuming you are talking about a solar eclipse). Even during a solar eclipse, the Sun is still bright enough to damage your eyes.
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.
Did anyone look directly into a solar eclipse?
I'm sure someone did. And they probably hurt their eyes.

What you photo during a solar eclipse is the solar rings showing around the moon. It is possible to photo them but you need to put a dark lense on the front of the camera and do not look at the screen directly.

Will the solar eclipse cause damage?
A solar eclipse is not dangerous, except to those who are so fascinated by it that they stare directly at it, which can damage the eyes. The sun is too bright to look at directly, even when it is being eclipsed (except for one very brief moment, in the case of a total eclipse).
