Did another community outreach program last night about the solar eclipse. I think I did the wear-eclipse-glasses-don’t-look-at-the-sun bit a little too much. At the end, one lady asked if it was safe to look at the Sun on TV while watching an eclipse broadcast. Maybe, she was annoyed with us for stressing eye safety so much and being sarcastic.
Well…. make sure you always keep the eclipse glasses on while looking at the eclipse (except during totality). As there are no pain receptors in the retina, you can burn your retina without knowing about the damage.
