Do not stare directly at the sun at any time as this could cause permanent damage to your eyes, in particular the retina. Remember the only way to safely view the uneclipsed or partially eclipsed sun, is to project or filter the sun’s rays. Even when filtering the sun’s rays, wear a pair of sunglasses too for additional protection and make sure they offer 100% UV protection. For a quick and easy way to filter the sun’s rays, you can make your own pinhole projector, which can also double as a fun activity for those with children.
