those goggles. but make sure you don't look at it. Here's a fact (a big fact)
In everyday life, we're all smart enough to know not to look at the sun. Not only is it an uncomfortable thing to do, but we've been taught that looking straight at the sun can damage our eyes, and we've gotten used to the idea.
During a solar eclipse, wierd things are happening all around: There may be sudden cold breezes, daylight is turning gloomy, birds and small animals may be nesting for night, shadows through trees and bushes are looking strange, and if we catch a glimpse of the sun, it's looking like a big cashew in the sky, with a part of the disk missing. Most important ... the sun looks and feels weak, to our eyes and on our skin.
At a moment like that, you're more likely to let your curiosity take hold, and to take a good long gaze at the sun to see exactly what's going on up there. Although it feels weak and dim to your eyes, the unobstructed portion of the sun is still just as potent, and a focused image of the "cashew" on the retina can still leave you with permanent damage to your vision. That's why it's a good idea to have protective eye gear available.
There was a question in this space this morning that relates to this one. The earlier questioner asked "Why are the sun's rays more dangerous during a solar eclipse ?" The answer to him ... and to you too ... is that the "rays" aren't any different during the eclipse; it's just that you're more likely than usual to look at the sun during an eclipse, and since nobody can convince you to completely avoid looking at it, you should at least have something with you to protect your eyes with, when you absolutely must look at the sun.
hope it helped :)

Actually it's not safe to look at the sun/moon during a solar eclipse but it is safe to look at the moon during a lunar eclipse.

It does look very pretty and mysterious but it is only safe to look at when wearing special eye protection.I hoped my answer helped.

What is the difference between a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse?
A solar eclipse is when the sun is blocked from view due to the moon passing exactly in front of the sun as it circles around the globe. However, since the earth moon and sun do not share the same orbital plane, this happens very rarely. You MUST wear special protective eye covering to directly observe a solar eclipse or you risk causing serious injury including blindness. Sunglasses, however good they are, DO NOT PROTECT YOUR EYES during a solar eclipse. Don't directly observe a solar eclipse unless you have guaranteed that your eye wear is certified to protect you. A lunar eclipse is when the moon and sun are on opposite sides of the globe, and the moon is full. At this time, when the earth blocks sunlight from reaching the moon this is called a lunar eclipse. The moon will often appear red during a total lunar eclipse. For the same reason as a solar eclipse, this also happens very rarely, but more frequently at a given location than solar eclipses. It is safe to observe a lunar eclipse without any special protective covering for the eyes. Just remember that if you are looking at an eclipse at night, it is safe to view.
Why it is bad for us to look at the solar eclipse?
