Safe viewing
Never look at the sun without eye protection, even when it is almost completely covered: use eclipse glasses that meet the ISO 12312-2 standard, a solar filter over the front of your lens, or project the sun through a pinhole. Sunglasses do not protect your eyes. Only totality, during its few minutes, is safe to watch with the naked eye.
