Gork comments on [Eric Berger] Seeing this eclipse is probably the highest-reward, lowest-effort thing one can do in life

Well some effort is required. You can't just look up at the eclipsed sun with your bare eyes.

The last person I saw try to look at an eclipse was some idiot, I can't remember his name.

If you want to burn a halo on your eyes, sure.

Noticing a bit of misinformation here so let’s clear this up: take off your eye protection during totality. The corona is so faint you won’t see anything at all through eclipse glasses.

It will be shorter unless you are in the center of the eclipse path.

When it's completely covered you can. I did it in 2017. This is like saying looking at the moon will burn your eyes out.
