Well some effort is required. You can't just look up at the eclipsed sun with your bare eyes.
The last person I saw try to look at an eclipse was some idiot, I can't remember his name.
During totality you can.
Noticing a bit of misinformation here so let’s clear this up: take off your eye protection during totality. The corona is so faint you won’t see anything at all through eclipse glasses.
Not with that attitude anyway
I mean there's that 4 minute widow it's cool
It will be shorter unless you are in the center of the eclipse path.
When it's completely covered you can. I did it in 2017. This is like saying looking at the moon will burn your eyes out.
