**** The Sun is never completely blocked by the Moon during an annular solar eclipse. Therefore, during an annular eclipse, it is never safe to look directly at the Sun without specialized eye protection designed for solar viewing.  --solarsystem.nasa.gov

**** Viewing any part of the bright Sun through a camera lens, binoculars, or a telescope without a special-purpose solar filter secured over the front of the optics will instantly cause severe eye injury.  --solarsystem.nasa.gov

**** Regular sunglasses, no matter how dark, are NOT SAFE for viewing the Sun.  --solarsystem.nasa.gov
