Don't stare at the sun
Don't stare at the sun
Friendly reminder never to stare at the sun during the eclipse or ever in general.
That’s the post. Happy viewing!
What are you trying to hide from us pal? What's up there we aren't allowed to see?
Don’t look up!
Also don't be like me and accidentally remove your glasses while staring at the sun!
Dw I'm fine, but I did have a crescent-shaped splotch following me around for a bit haha
Same happened to me as I was holding a fidgety infant. Thankfully it was only at the beginning.
I just looked a little bit
also, do not put salt in your eyes
Helpful life advice
So I can do so in specific moments so long as it’s not during the eclipse?
No. Don't stare at the sun period. The eclipse isn't inherently physically more dangerous to stare at. It's my understanding that the reason it's more dangerous is that it doesn't have the typical brightness which you'd typically react to by squinting or looking at away, so it's more likely you could accidentally not react and damage your eyes.
Eclipse over, it is once again safe to stare directly at the sun.
