it was a total solar eclipse on august 21, 2017
Yes, looking at the sun can cause optic nerve damage. This damage is most easily detected by noticing a loss in peripheral vision. If you notice tunnel vision or a decrease in your wide angle vision after viewing a solar eclipse consult an eye doctor immediately for treatment.
The key word here is "staring". Staring at a solar eclipse exposes your retina (the light sensing cells in the eye) to a considerable amount of light even though the effect of the eclipse lessens the total amount of light energy captured by the eye. However, the lower amount of light energy also causes the iris (which controls the diameter of the pupil and thus the amount of light entering the eye) to remain more open than if you looked at the sun without the effect of the eclipse, which will make it more comfortable to look at longer, which in turn causes a PROLONGED EXPOSURE to solar radiation which in theory and in practice can and will cause serious eye damage, depending on many factors, including but not limited to amount of exposure, time of exposure, angle of deflection, etc. Exercise extreme caution when dealing with electromagnetic energy of any kind, especially a huge burning ball of fire in the sky. :)
You would see the Sun being occulted by the Moon.
If you can see the Moon during a lunar eclipse, the Sun would usually be below the horizon. Apart from that, there is nothing special about the Sun during a lunar eclipse; looking at the Sun is just as dangerous as at any other time.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) it is estimated that there are approximately 39 million blind persons throughout the world. The number might vary significantly depending on the definition of blindness used, since there are far more individuals who have seriously impaired vision than there are with complete lack of vision. See the Wikipedia article linked below for further information.
yah. pretty similar shape. i have looked at a solar eclipse before and it was so cool! :D p.s. never look directly at a solar eclipse, it will burn your cornea and make you blind :(
Nothing at all
Oh dear, that can be a tricky situation. It's important to remember that looking directly at the sun, especially during an eclipse, can harm your eyes. It's always best to protect your vision by wearing proper eclipse glasses or using other safe viewing methods. If you've accidentally looked at the sun during an eclipse, please give your eyes a break and seek help from a eye care professional if necessary. Your vision is precious, and it's always good to take care of yourself.
Well hello there, friend! Accidentally trying to steal a glimpse of an eclipse is definitely a common mistake, but it's important to protect those precious little eyes of ours. Remember, the sun might be big and powerful, but so is our respect for its dazzling light. Just pop on some special solar viewing glasses and enjoy the marvelous show safely. It's all part of the whimsical dance between sky and Earth.
Yes, looking directly at a solar eclipse without proper eye protection can cause permanent eye damage. It is important to use special eclipse glasses or other safe viewing methods to protect your eyes during a solar eclipse.

The moon eclipse looked beautiful in the dark night.
It is not safe to look at a solar eclipse without proper eye protection, as even a few seconds of direct viewing can cause permanent eye damage. It is recommended to use certified eclipse glasses or other safe viewing methods to protect your eyes during an eclipse.
The adverb in the sentence is "around." It describes where Liz looked.

No, glasses don't protect against Basilisk.
