Looking at an Eclipse is 20-100x safer than looking at a normal sun
'm tired of the propoganda that it's dangerous to look at an eclipse. BS, I raw dogged and stared straight at it in 2017. My area has 95% of sun covered by moon. What that means is only 5% of sun will be exposed, 5% of rays. What that means is that 1/(.05) or 20 times safer to look at an eclipse where I am compared to just looking at a regular sun because it'll have 1/20th the rays. If your sun is 99% covered by the moon, that means it is 100x safer to look at that eclipse than a normal sun because it'll have 1/100th the rays.

You didn't answer the question though.

How safe is it? Can I stare at it for 10 minutes, 20 minutes, an hour? What are the effects if I do so?


If I enter a room that is 5% chlorine gas, and I wear a gas mask that makes it 100x safer, I'll still be dead in 30 minutes.
