Hi Double D!
Yes, you can look at and see an eclipse of the sun with the unaided eye, if the sun is dimmed by clouds.
You've surely seen times when clouds dim the sun, and you can look right at it. You and I have both done it innumerable times, and I still have good vision. A cloud-veiled eclipse is no different.
Of course, if the sun is dazzling, you won't be able to look at it for more than a fleeting glimpse. It will seem just too bright.
This morning's eclipse is visible at sunrise or shortly after in central Asia, Pakistan and India. With this eclipse, since it's a shallow partial eclipse, if you look at the sun it will be so dazzling that you won't even be able to notice that there's an eclipse going on. But if your sky is covered with translucent clouds that show the eclipse shape through them, of course it's OK to look, the same as it would be on any other day.
I would not stare at the sun at any time, except during a total eclipse. (Tomorrow's is not a total eclipse.) Don't, however, let well-meaning but grossly uninformed people frighten you inside.
Any solar eclipse can be seen with the naked eye.
For about 30 seconds.
And then that eye won't see anything ever again.
No because you would need a big light for it
well...you can see an eclipse at any time during the day...it just depends on how much damage you want to do to the retinas.
Not without damaging your eyes.
It is never safe to directly view a solar eclipse.
The visible light will be less, but that will reduce you're eye's response. The iris will not close as much. The infrared and UV are not diminished as significantly.. and the UV is what burns your retina.
Looking directly at an eclipse you may as well look into an arc of an arc welder without eye protection... you're burning your retina either way.
Nope..
Never look at the sun with the naked eye..
Standing in the sun while naked is OK...
Don't try it. It isn't worth going blind for
Here is the truth on solar eclipses. Without the moon, the sun is so bright that you do not look at it. And if you do, you see yellowish spots in your eyes for some time. This may be from permanant damage and the only way to tell for sure is to have your eyes examined before the eclipse and then again after. During the eclipse, it is actually "safer" than not during an eclipse because it is not so bright. HOWEVER...because it is not so bright you look LONGER. The UV rays are still there and your eyes are still burnt. So.want to take a chance? With or without the moon, it is only safe to look at the sun by reflection from a mirror to a wall or ceiling, or pin hole viewing.
