| Apr 4 at 14:04 | comment | added | mmesser314 | The warnings not to look at the sun without eye protection always strike me as silly. Who would do that? But a coworker told me he has permanent eye damage from looking at the sun with binoculars. So it isn't as silly as it sounds. Don't do it, OK? | |

| Mar 20 at 15:51 | comment | added | hodale | This article addresses your question: npr.org/2024/03/08/1236617960/…. Highlight: "The sun is about a million times brighter than the full moon," explains Angela Speck, an astronomer at the University of Texas at San Antonio. So if 99.9% of the sun is obscured, she says, there will still be "a thousand times more light than the full moon, and so it's still bright." | |
