I'm not even so sure it's gonna happen today... can't find the moon anywheres in the sky right now

I've glanced at the sun many times so I don't see how looking at the eclipse for a couple seconds at a time is any worse.

I just went outside to see if the eclipse was happening. I looked at the sun for like 30 minutes and now I can't see anything. Does that mean I saw the eclipse?

Less painful glare will mean you might look right at the sun for more than a "glance".
Less bright light might mean your pupils don't contract quite as much, and expose more of your retina to the radiation.

So you are basically looking at the eclipse on a white paper? Seems kind of underwhelming.

I peeked at the one in 79 when someone else had the welding helmet and no side effects yet.

It's hard not to like the guy. I hope he does well. It's always good to see the good guys win.

I had one of these for my telescope for the 79 eclipse.
