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.
Looking directly at the sun during a solar eclipse can cause serious damage to your eyes due to the intensity of the sun's rays. The solar eclipse does not make the sun less bright or harmful to look at. It is important to use proper eye protection, such as solar viewing glasses, or indirect viewing methods to prevent damage to your eyes.
