Looking directly at an eclipse can be harmful to your eyes because the intense brightness of the sun's rays can cause serious damage to the retina, leading to permanent vision loss. It's important to wear proper eye protection, such as special eclipse glasses or a solar viewer, when viewing an eclipse to prevent eye injury.

Its cool Well, it is never safe to look directly up in the sky. A solar eclipse will gradually pass, but you sometimes might not have time to look away.
