Solar Safety (Burning Holes in the Eyes is NOT a Good Idea) The 7th Magnitude

Tim and Terry discuss some very imprtant safety tips while viewing a solar eclipse. Their advice, while fron experience, is not a substitute for common sense! Please, to the viewer, when in doubt - DO NOT DO IT. Always remember NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN especially unprotected (and having your eyelids simply closed is also dangerous). Talk to others as well, and don't rely on only what is said here, but do your homework too.
That said, if you have the right equipment and feel comfortable using it, then have fun seeing your star. Otherwise, seek out your local astronomony club, planetarium, or observatory and let them show you how to view the sun properly as well.
