Not bad news for me; I don’t care. We plan to be indoors with blinds partially shut. Have enough eye problems moving toward age 70. We’ll check it out on TV.
You can look at the sun directly with the naked eye, of course not for long, but an eclipse certainly is much safer. There is a reason God gave us pain: Looking at the sun creates what? PAIN and we look away and that prevents eye damage unless you were kidnapped by Obamas heroes, the ISIS of South America, MS-13 and they tied you to stakes and sewed your eyelids open, then you would have a problem looking at the sun.
They say that binocoulars or telescopes will magnify the sunlight, harming your eyes. Is this true? Even with you wearing the eye protection code glasses.
Nah, it’ll be alright.
Looking at the sun with binoculars or a telescope, WITHOUT a shade 14 or higher filter over the lenses on the SUN SIDE of the binoculars or telescope will make them act much like you were burning ants with a magnifying glass.
Those cool solar shades you’re wearing will melt right through, just like that.
Steaming eyeballs anyone?
After all the press about this, did you guys really think I was serious?
