    Or if you’re not in the path of totality…. The risk just isn’t worth it.

    Let’s just not look up at the bright thing in the sky that can cause permanent damage at any given time.

          Yes, get yourself eclipse glasses, a pinhole projector, a floppy disk, digital camera or whatever allows you to observe the eclipse safely – no phenomenon is worth risking your eyesight over. However, the consensus is that you can watch the sun flares without protection during totality. The totality lasted 0 to 4 minutes depending on your location.
