Navajo people certainly can look at snakes. Historically they believed that snakes were the earthly manifestation of the "Lightning people" in the sky and related to the Thunder Spirits. There were therefore many taboos about not killing snakes, not spitting at snakes, not making faces at snakes, not stepping on snakes and so on - but no taboo about looking at snakes.

Snakes regularly appear in Navajo art, including sand paintings.

No person should ever look directly at the Sun - not even during an eclipse - with the naked eye. A fraction of a second of direct sunlight into the eye has the potential to cause PERMANENT blindness. It would be neat to look at an eclipse, but it would not be neat to never see another thing for the remainder of your life.

There are a number of safe ways to view eclipses, including filter goggles such as welder's goggles, or indirect viewers such as projection systems.

How many eclipses will happen between 2020 3020 ad?

There are typically two lunar eclipses and two solar eclipses each year. Sometimes, depending on the precise alignment of the Sun, Earth and Moon, we'll see two "partial" or "penumbral" eclipses instead of one "total" eclipse. The NASA Eclipse Web Site lists details on all eclipses from 2000 BC to 3000 AD; you can look up all the eclipses from 2020 to 3000, and estimate how many there will be from 3000 to 3020 based on that.


When do you experience a partial eclipse and a total eclipse?

You need to look up the dates of the next eclipses in your location and then be ready to look out for them. Eclipses of the moon are more frequent at any one place, because every eclipse is seen from the whole dark hemisphere of the Earth. Solar eclipses on the other hand are seen from a much smaller area because the Moon is much smaller than the Earth.
