Why is it bad to look at a solar eclipse?
Question by Kyle: Why is it bad to look at a solar eclipse?
If a solar eclipse is when the moon comes between the sun and earth, why is it still bad to look at with the naked eye? Wouldn't it protect your eyes from solar rays and radiation, etc? Please explain.
Best answer:
Answer by ChartlesBecause you have to stare at the sun. Which is bad. The moon will protect you from some of the damage, but it will not protect from all of it.

Scorpio energy can sometimes feel like a crisis and can be quite intense so it is important that we work with this. We all know that not everything in life is nice and sweet so see what you can do here as well as in the areas of taking risks to gain power, obsessions, compulsions, living life on the edge. "I easily find myself responding to crisis with clear thinking and positive action".

Answer by TechwingYou need something like carbon-arc-welding glasses in order to view this type of eclipse safely. They should be at least shade #14.
You could photograph it with a digital camera as long as the camera has an electronic viewfinder and not an optical viewfinder. However, this may permanently damage the camera.
Another good way to see the eclipse is by using a special solar attachment on a telescope that projects an image of the sun onto a screen (NOT by looking directly into the telescope, which will produce blindness).
Sunglasses are not dark enough to help.
The only solar eclipses that can be safely viewed with the naked eye are total solar eclipses, when the sun is completely covered. This is not that type of eclipse. The sun's edge will still be visible during this eclipse, which makes it dangerous to look at with the naked eye. It also makes the eclipse far less impressive, since it doesn't get very dark and the portion of the sun that is visible is so bright that it makes everything else invisible.
My own opinion is that only a total solar eclipse is worth getting excited over. Partial and annular eclipses are a disappointment, as well as an eye hazard.

On Sunday, 11 July 2010 , a Total Eclipse of the Sun is visible from within a narrow corridor that traverses Earth's southern Hemisphere. The path of the Moon's umbral shadow crosses the South Pacific Ocean where it makes no landfall except for Mangaia (Cook Islands) and Easter Island (Isla de Pascua). The path of totality ends just after reaching southern Chile and Argentina. The Moon's penumbral shadow produces a partial eclipse visible from a much larger region covering the South Pacific and southern South America. As seen from the Earth, a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, and the Moon fully or partially covers the Sun as viewed from some location on Earth. This can only happen during a new moon, when the Sun and Moon are in conjunction as seen from Earth. At least two, and up to five, solar eclipses occur each year; no more than two can be total eclipses.Total solar eclipses are nevertheless rare at any particular location because totality exists only along a narrow path traced by the Moon's umbra. A total solar eclipse is a natural phenomenon. Nevertheless, in ancient times, and in some cultures today, solar eclipses have been attributed to supernatural causes or regarded as bad omens. A total solar eclipse can be

Answer by Big Ol' Gal Named HildyAccording to NASA's eclipse site, there's an ANNULAR eclipse due that will be visible very near Las Vegas in 2012 (the darkest portion will be slightly north, according to the map). As to a total eclipse, there's not another one due in Las Vegas at least through the end of the century. Check out the World Atlas of Solar Eclipse Maps on the page below.
The closest TOTAL eclipse to you any time soon will be in 2017 in Oregon; that's not exactly around the corner, but maybe you'll get to go see it :-) I live near Seattle, so maybe I'll be there too!
