    You won't go blind. Think of all the times we glance at the sun on a regular basis - maybe when driving or out for a walk.

    The danger was that as the moon covered more of the sun, people might feel the need to stare bare-eyed for long stretches of time because it wouldn't be as instinctive to look away as the sun wouldn't appear "as bright". The prolonged staring would be damaging, and even then, it's unlikely they'd go blind but rather would have a spot in their vision.

    A two second long glance will not hurt you. Promise.

    HA! I knew there would be a post about this... but no.. two seconds with sun glasses? No worries. A bunch of folks here at work had the eclipse glasses so I got to see it quite well. About 80-85% coverage about an hour ago and it was actually getting dark! VERY COOL!

    Me too! lol.

    Although I warned my kids not to look even for a second.. I think it would take longer then that. But know what? I was warned so I didn't do it.. looked through the proper eclipse lenses.
