   Shreyas,
   Are you planning to see it with naked eyes?
   Your eyes may be permanantly damaged, as it will be very strong rays before and just after the eclipse.
   Best is to get a guidance from agency like Nehru Planetorium or Astrophysics department on how to view this.

   DON’T TRY with naked eyes. Even best of the brands sun glasses are unable to filter the harmful infrared radiation. So be careful.

   hi all,
   which will be the best option to view the solar eclipse.
   any suggestions.

   To All,

   Direct viewing. If you prefer to look directly at the Sun, you can use a square or rectangular arc-welder’s glass of shade #13 or #14, available for a few dollars from local welding-supply stores. (Don’t get a lower-numbered shade; the Sun will be too bright to look at safely.) Alternatively, special, cheap “eclipse glasses” (right) are widely made from safe solar filter materials.

   A solar filter that’s designed to be used with a telescope is also safe for viewing with the otherwise unaided eye.

    I have never seen such foolish comments in my life….PLZ u guys be serious…and try to realise why it is said that Solar eclipse is dangerous…Its dangerous only if u look at it-it could damage your eye…Thats it……..Sunlight has some carcinogenicfactors(cancer causing/mutilating)-but thie chance of such a damage to occur is minimal…..that shouldn’t stop u from going out in the sunlight……But rest assured there is nothing special about solar ecclipse in this regard….During solar ecclipse no “special” rays come from the sun….its the same very old rays….

    .Its only that during an ecclipse because of the reduced intensity we maybe able to look directly at the sun(which we CANNOT do normally…..and even if u somehow manage….the pupil of the eye constricts and protect the eye to an extent)and the pupil may remain open because of the low intensity…..here the remaining light from the sun will easily get into your eye and damages it…

    Apart from this problem…there is none other and definitely none to the rest of the body or your baby

    I repeat again Sunrays are basically UV rays-whether its a solar ecclipse or no ecclipse……Its harmful to human body……which is why we should be thanking the Ozone layer, which absorb much of these radiation…UV rays are cancer-causing(esp skin cancer)…..but like cigarette smoke only exposure above a certain level does actually cause cancer…..The effect is so minimal (much lower than the risk of cigarette smoke causing cancer)that it hasn’t stopped anyone(except someone with a condition called Ataxia Telangiectasia) from going out in the sun….Solar ecclipse does not produce any new rays…..But still it is considered dangerous only because of the eye problem….

    If u still insist on being afraid…..I would advice u to stay away from anybody who smokes, don’t breathe our atmospheric air(it may contain harmful viruses which can mutilate your baby)…..don’t eat fodd(it can contain additives whcih are harmful)!!!!!!

    these are more likely to harm your baby than a solar-ecclipse!!!!
