You forgot to credit the author, Travis Andrews, with his illiteracy. Nia Payne wanted to view of eclipse?

That day I kept taking my eclipse glasses off to look down for a while - once I didn’t look away soon enough and got a blast of the sun for a split second - I didn’t do that again! I could see the image in my eyes for maybe an hour then it went away.

Hey, we were warned over and over and over to have the proper viewing equipment for the eclipse.
I traveled almost 300 miles to be dead-center for it, a beautiful, clear as a bell morning.
And everyone who was there - EVERYONE!!! - had the proper eclipse glasses or lenses, whatever.
So I am sorry to hear this, but I’m not gonna cry in my beer for her!

Millions are smart enough to not stare at the sun so long that it burns an imprint on the retina.

When we were little kids, my brother and I stared at the setting sun, to see who would blink first.

Had the Amazon glasses ... hopefully the kind that weren’t recalled ... very special Eclipse with the kids ... we were in a rural area where it got very quiet and very dark ... Tried to give an astronomy lesson and was asked to Enjoy the Silence lol!

I used a No. 14 arc welder’s filter to view the eclipse, which covered about 80% of the sun in my area. I also could see the “pinhole effect” crescents thrown by shade trees on my deck and on sidewalks. The partial coverage of the sun also made the shadows from the power lines look weird and fuzzy.

When I went to Missouri to see the eclipse, there was a woman there that was staring staring staring directly at it! I wonder how she’s doing today.

I stayed inside because I was afraid to drive in it. The sun might be directly in my vision on the horizon.

Saw the eclipse in Geneva, Nebraska and got stunning pictures. Was prepared with protective glasses and a camera lens filter my son helped me make with his 3D printer. There was ample warning about not viewing the sun directly and protective glasses were widely available

"She borrowed a pair of what looked like eclipse glasses from someone nearby, then looked directly at the sun for 15 to 20 seconds."The glasses themselves were probably the biggest issue. They may have focused the light rays, like a magnifying glass.
