The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) says that the sun's “reduced brightness can override the body's natural reflex to look away, allowing intense sunlight to reach and damage the retina.”Safe viewing methods include using special eclipse glasses certified with 'ISO 12312-2' or 'ISO 12312-2:2015'.Alternatively, the eclipse can be viewed safely through a pinhole viewer, by projecting the sun's image onto paper using a pinhole projector, by holding up a colander and looking at its shadow or by looking at the shadows cast by leaves on the ground.
