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.

During the solar eclipse you see the corona and chromosphere of the sun, which are the outermost layers.

During a total solar eclipse the photosphere is blocked from view, allowing you to see the dimmer layers.
