No! This does not filter the damaging rays and will still permanently damage your sight even to the extent of blindness.
Definitely not. Observing the Sun can be dangerous if you do not take the proper precautions. Even the highest safety category 4 sunglasses are not designed to be used to view the sun directly. Exposure to UV radiation from looking directly at the sun can cause retinal burns which can be painful and can cause loss of vision. You could end up with permanent eye damage and/or visual loss.

NOT ordinary sun glasses, and especially NOT for the annular eclipse May 20. You must not look at the eclipse directly; a great deal of solar energy will be focused along the path and even if it appears that there is a dimming of light, looking at the annular eclipse will expose your eyes to enough radiation to cause serious damage, including permanent blindness.

Can you look at a solar eclipse without it hurting you?

You should never look directly at a solar eclipse as it will damage your eyes. Look at it wearing very dark glasses or indirectly in a reflection in water

Absolutely not ! NEVER look directly at the sun - even through tinted glasses ! The best way - create a 'pinhole' camera - and view the reflection.

How can you make glasses to watch a solar eclipse?

No! Do not try to improvise dark goggles or glasses to view the solar eclipse. It only takes a split-second to burn your eyes. and they do not grow back! The safest way to view a solar eclipse is with an indirect eclipse viewer. Directions for building one are at the link below. No, you cannot not. The sun's rays are very damaging to the eyes. Looking at the sun, even when it is being eclipsed is not safe. The one exception to this rule is during a total eclipse ... but only during totality. The best filter is exposed x-ray film, it's totally black. But hospitals are starting to not use film.


Why cant we look at the sun during a solar ealips?

You can look at the sun during the period of totalitywhen a TOTAL eclipse is happening.However if even a tiny bit of the sun's bright disk is still visible, the light from it is so strong that it will burn and kill the cells in your retina. Your eyes and vision will be permanently damaged when this happens and, if it is very bad, you could be blinded (you will feel nothing while this happens).To look at the sun during the partial phases of an eclipse you can ONLY do so by looking though No 14 welding glass, though special 'solar eclipse' glasses or at the refection of the sky and sun in a bucket of water.
