I have never seen one but I can only imagine how mind-blowing it is to see the lunar disk cover the sun and plunge a portion of the world into shade during the day.Whilst beautiful, eclipses should be approached with the utmost caution. Looking directly at any portion of the sun during any time of the day can result in severe eye problems and even full-blown solar retinopathy (permanent blind spots). This is why you must always use ISO 12312-2 approved solar eclipse glasses or solar viewing gear from reputable skywatching brands.
