tldr : It’s safe only during the span of time where the solar disk is entirely covered
Anyway to reply to your comment proper, I’ve seen one as a kid but it’s too ancient to remember clearly. It was also right before I had my childhood fascination with the solar system so might not have fully appreciated it.
Yes. Lol. Total eclipse. Obviously never ever look at the eclipse until the sun is completely covered “totality”. And even then have an alarm handy beforehand so you know when it will move out of the total eclipse phase.
Hmmm, it’s certainly a million times more impactful on your retinas. Don’t do this, never do this. Under no circumstances
Hmm, I looked it up because it seemed absurd and apparently when the eclipse is total, it’s fine ?
