Will the celestron powerseeker 70az telescope be able to see a solar eclipse?

You don't need ANY kind of telescope to see the solar eclipse. If you have a telescope, and _IF_ you have a projection eyepiece that will project the Sun's image onto the screen, then you can use it - but the problem with viewing the Sun is more in decreasing the intensity of the image rather than magnifying it.


Can a person see solar eclipse through x ray sheets?

Yes, but that is about as dangerous as staring directly at the sun. Don't do it. If you must view the eclipse directly, you can get thick welder's glass. I have used it and it works great.With solar eclipses there is less radiation than when the sun is full. The danger comes from the tendency of people to stare at the sun for prolonged periods of time. That is very bad for your eyes. NEVER look at the sun directly through binoculars or a telescope. Your vision will vanish without your feeling anything--without warning you will be blind.You must have very special solar filters for viewing the sun through a telescope:)
