Why is it unadvisable to look at the solar eclipse directly with naked eyes?
Question:
Answer:
The retina of the eye can/will be temporarily and or slightly perminately damed by solar rays even though the the eclipse is occuring
Same reason it is unadvisable to look at the sun any other time, and it carries the same risks. Not all of the light is blocked, during an eclipse.
Have you ever looked right at the sun? It's painful. You could go BLIND!
Though it is bad to look at the sun it is worse during a eclipse because the light you do see is brighter.
the radiation will burn your retina. Save your self the truble and look at a arcwelder instead.
