Question by xcloudxstrifex: Why is it bad to stare at a solar eclipse?
North America's next solar eclipse is in 2017, I want to watch it. But why do I need to put on dimming glasses? Isn't the sunlight being blocked out by the moon enough to not do any harm?

No, theres still enough light to damage your eyes. Not so-much when the moon completely obscures the sun, but in the transition phases, where the sun is only partially covered. Its easy to not notice the damage being done.

Answer by GnomonYou'll need to find out the diameter of Phobos, assume it is spherical, work out the area of the disc, how far it is from the surface when directly overhead, what its size is expressed as an angle, then do the same for the sun.
