I wandered how the people back then look at them with out the glasses
I think they’re reason why we know it causes eye damage. 😞
Chest x-ray film
The mayans used obsidian
@@Tangerinetacodang
they were scare of everything then so i doubt they saw it.
I wouldn’t even trust the glasses. Just don’t look directly at it. You know there’s going to be videos all over the place.
During totality is the only time where you take the glasses off. I saw it in Columbia in 2017
Use chest x-ray film, your eyes will not be blind. The choice is yours, if you use it wrong. You will go blind
@@user-hb9zi2on2hchest xray film is not dark enough... at all.
imagine scare
Bruh it really burned a crescent in her retina 😭😭
How did people watch eclipse in ancient times? Im sure everyone was watching 👀 and they didn't get blind.
They probably did and became blind that's why we got so many tribes worshipping the sun
That's not how it works Sherlock
@@queenicedcoffee4217 key word "probably"
The Mayans, Mexicas, incas, and other native american tribes had different beliefs in North america.
@@erenjaeger1738 exactly they didn't use this time as a show they use this time as a rebirth
But why does it happen? Why does it have so much dangers rays? What gives the moon going in front of the sun so much rays? What creates the extra rays? 🤷♂️🧐🧐
Like I’ve looked at the sun before but why is it more dangerous??
when you look at the sun on a normal day, your pupil gets contracted thus protecting your retina from radiation and harmful rays but when partial or total solar eclipse occurs, it tricks your brain that no or less light is coming from the sun so your pupil do not contract and the harmful rays and radiation enters your eye and damage them. hope this helps!
@@hair99thank you! I was confused cause I looked directly at the sun several times as a kid but i’ve been okay lol. so I thought the eclipse would be like looking at the sun regularly and I wasn’t sure why it was said to be so dangerous
@@hair99no cus i clicked on this video for an explanation, and it didn’t give me one 😂
@@yourbrowserhistoryrealthey exained it way better
I stare at the sun...
But only when it's fully eclipsed.
Stay safe kids!
still not safe. you are welcoming the radiation into your eyes which will harm you later on
I love this video thank you so much ❤❤❤❤❤❤
It’s sad that people have to be warned not to look at the sun. This is what we’ve come to.
its sad ppl dont look at it more. do some proper research.
I look directly at the sun
How come people are the only animals on the planet that need Sun glasses Hmmm!
These type of videos are the same old propaganda. Anyone that Sungazes on a normal sunny day knows the whole eclipse eye damage is 100% BS. @@RuthSchwartz-wu2bm
@@seansurprenant7627animals lol😮
This reminds me of a comment where someone said they would stay inside with the shades drawn during an eclipse
They are probably afraid of black cats too 🤪
I don’t blame them 😂

I wonder if I'll film it on my phone, will it damage the camera?
No. It doesn't have biological tissue, it has circuitry that won't get damaged. Our eyes are extremely fragile and the biochemical material is not equipped to handle the spectrum of light that emitted during the solar eclipse.

Won't be seeing here in Ireland 😢😢😢

I don't understand what's so different about solar eclipses compared to the sun on a normal day. Do our eyes take longer to notice the damage by which point it's already too late?
Pretty sure the difference is you instinctually look away from the sun if you try to stare directly, but in a partial eclipse, enough is covered that you don't have the same instinct and it feels like you can stare at it. Despite this, the parts that are peeking out are still just as damaging as the uncovered sun.
Thx
They are so dangerous because they are so powerful…
exactly. its like poison is very dangerous cause its poisonous.
Look flying turtles 0:07
I only looked for like 6 secs. I then started to see apparitions, but now I can hear them too. Guys, I'm scared.
What would've been like if all mammals evolved with super durable eyes?
Past 6 years I’ve been looking at it eclipses and I’m still good
Total eclipses u can look at. It's when it's a partial eclipse (when the sun isn't fully covered) that it is bad
You can smoke for years before developing cancer.
Actually some people have the ability to look at the sun with no damage when there is no eclipse they are superheroes
I wis they explained why looking directly at a solar eclipse is so dangerous for your eyes
they just did
It isn’t
@@user-bp3mf2li4e Dude I just looked at it and I think my Sharingan is awaken
@@AdrenalineRushMX They told you the damage that happened, never why or how
@@Renosen yea my bad 😞 but after watching that video you know damn well to not look a the sun haha
They said the same thing about the sun. Whenever they say stuff like this I wonder if I should be doing the opposite
They lying
BRUV HAS TRUST ISSUES 😂😂
Is looking at the eclipse more dangerous than looking at the Sun
Yes. Because when the sun is uncovered it's so bright it stimulates your pupils to shrink profoundly and immediately when you look at it. Eclipses have the same damaging rays but are relatively dark so no such stimulus of your pupils takes place and your eyes are unprotected.
i’m just built different
You need to for a long time
Do u die?
No, only look at the sun with proper approved glasses. If u don’t have them stay at home and never look at the sub
Telling people not to look at the eclipse will make people look at the eclipse. 🕶️
Their loss of eyesight not the people who gave the warning
What about the millions who have no damages?
They do😂
What is this doctor implying, by his statement, “children don’t listen.”😂
I stared into the eclipse, and now i can shoot solar beams out of my eyes.
Dunning-Kruger in full effect in these comments. 😂
As a Biden supporter I understand I must wear protection to stare at the eclipse. To avoid the rush I purchased a box of condoms this morning.
It’s dangerous because they don’t want you to wake up to who you are.
What😂
@@GmalGaming it’s not for everyone to understand.
@@sweetnspiritual3781 are you ok bro?
Think people! We are the only animals on the planet that need Sun glasses Hmmm. I Sungaze which is staring at the Sun. I've been doing it for 8 yrs and haven't been sick and if anything my sight got better
Same and my eyes are better for it.
During the middle of the day?
@@gravegaming2023 when your eyes are trained for it yes but when you're just starting out you want to do it during the morning when the sun's rising or setting for as long as your eyes can handle and work your way up from there
@@seansurprenant7627 so the news article is still correct?
@@gravegaming2023 sorry man I shouldn't have been that harsh but it's really frustrating to me because I can't get through to anybody. What do you think people did before sunglasses did they all go blind? What I'm saying is that people have been wearing sunglasses for so long their eyes aren't trained to it so yes it's going to be kind of harsh to your eyes I doubt you would go blind they're just trying to hide the Sun from you and the benefits of it!
Do you guys remember seeing Melania telling Donald not to look at the eclipse? He's big kid.
You guys will attack trump for looking at a solar eclipse 6 years ago for 2 seconds, but ignore everything that Biden has done over his presidency.
some one should have told donald trump this information! SMH
¶:
Y'all look at this eclipse. I'll be watching how the animals of the world react.
I don’t imagine they care
Turn your light off and on with one of your animals in the room. Boom done
A bunch of BS!!
What do you mean 😂
If only they would have done a story on why you shouldn't make toast and take a bath at the same time.
😂

That's a new anti-wokism challenge with a lifetime "achievement". lol
Who would be stupid enough to see a solar eclipse through binoculars
Hey let's all just look at with out the cool shades....
Just like no 1 liked wearing the stupid mask.....😷
I look the Sun Nothing happened
You need to for a long time
Why is this so popular 😂
Because it's rare.
its all wrong. its a lie
🐂💩. Best viewing , look wide-eyed right at it PLEASE 😂
Tell Biden to look into one 😂
Trump didn’t hesitate to look directly into the last one. His retina is indestructible apparently 😂😂
