Do not look at the sun directly when it is a partial eclipse, but I can look at it when it is total.
Do not look at a solar eclipse at all. It can cause eye damage.
Of course, both opinions allow one to look with proper protection. Anyone have a definite answer to this?
Just as you are not supposed to look directly at lighting emitted from those non-incandescent light bulbs made in China, neither are you to look directly at the sun during the day, during a partial eclipse, or during a total eclipse.. You can look at the moon during an eclipse in the evening after the sun has set and before the sun has risen in the morning sky.
There is information that looking directly at non-incandescent light bulbs from China can cause macular degeneration, both the dry and wet type. Viewing TV and iPhones might do the same damage. Hence, just to be safe, I would not even recommend using a Kindle or other computer device to read books.
