Hi, You really should not look right at the Sun during the day – especially don’t stare at it. That can cause eye damage. At the time of totality when you really can only see the Sun’s corona it is ok to look at the eclipse. It is a truly spectacular sight! However, at the times when the sun’s surface (the photosphere) is visible it is dangerous to look at the sun because it is so bright – over a million times brighter than the much fainter corona.
