No, you can’t look at the sun and watch the eclipse. No.
This image of the moon crossing in front of the sun was captured on Jan. 30, 2014, by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory observing an eclipse from its vantage point in space.(NASA)
No, you can’t look at the sun and watch the eclipse.
No. If you have ever held a small magnifying glass over dry grass, you know what happens. The sun’s rays become so focused that the grass catches fire.
That is what will happen to your eyes if you attempt to watch the eclipse. Your retina will burn up. You won’t know it until you can’t see any more.
DO NOT LOOK AT THE SUN WITH THE NAKED EYE.
Do not look at the eclipse through binoculars or a telescope or a camera lens.
The same thing happens: Your retina burns up.
Do NOT use sunglasses, polaroid filters, smoked glass, exposed color film, x-ray film, or photographic neutral-density filters.
What you can do is make a pinhole projector. There are many instructions online for this. For ideas on how to view, go to www.exploratorium.edu/eclipse/how-to-view-eclipse.
