Do not use if there are any scratches or damage to the glass. This glass will reduce the harmful rays that are emitted during the eclipse. Welder’s glass: Number 14 welder’s glass provides effective protection and can be found at a local welder’s supply store.

This do-it-yourself project includes making a pinhole in a cardboard paper with the sun on one side and a piece of paper three feet away without obstruction to project the image on the other side. This helps you avoid looking directly at the eclipse by using a projected image. Pinhole projection: This is the safest and most inexpensive way to watch a solar eclipse. Below are a few common ways to safely watch a solar eclipse:
STARING AT THE SUN BENEFITS PROFESSIONAL
Talk with your eye care professional to determine the best viewing option for you. Even during the total solar eclipse, the total eclipse may last only a short period of time, and if you are looking towards the sun as the moon moves away from blocking the sun, you might get a solar burn on your retina which can cause permanent damage to your eyes. During the very brief time the sun is in total solar eclipse it is safe to look at it, but do so with caution. This boosts the secretion of melatonin and serotonin, our 'feel-good' hormones.

This stimulates the pineal gland, also known as the master gland. Research shows sungazing stimulates the pineal gland as the direct sunlight hits the eye, moves through retinal-hypothalamic tract, and then hits the brain. It is never safe to look at a partial solar eclipse without proper safety equipment or techniques. Boosts production of melatonin and serotonin. This is when the moon completely covers the sun. The only time that you can safely view a solar eclipse without special equipment is during a total solar eclipse.
