First, there are multiple ways to view the eclipse safely. The way NOT to view it, is to look directly at the sun, even when it’s dark. The light is still there and it can permanently and severely damage your eyes. This is true even if you’re looking through a lens or other object such as UV blocking sunglasses.
If you’re planning to purchase viewing glasses or lenses, check out the complete safety viewing and resource guide from Space.com here.
