"Enhancing Your Solar Eclipse Viewing Experience with Red and Green"

TL;DR Summary
Staring at the sun, even during a partial eclipse, can cause permanent damage to your eyes due to the sun's intense energy. The only safe time to look at the eclipse without glasses is during totality, which lasts only a few minutes and is only visible in a narrow path across the United States. Eclipse glasses that filter out most visible light and block ultraviolet and infrared rays are essential for eye protection. Alternatively, a pinhole projector can be used to view the eclipse indirectly. It's crucial to avoid counterfeit glasses and ensure that they meet international safety standards.
