Never look at the Sun with the naked eye, sunglasses, or an unfiltered camera or binoculars — even when it is mostly covered. Use certified eclipse glasses (ISO 12312-2) or a pinhole projection. Only during the total phase of a total eclipse is it safe to look without a filter.

Is a lunar eclipse safe to watch?

Yes. A lunar eclipse is completely safe to watch with the naked eye, binoculars or a telescope — it is just the Moon passing through Earth’s shadow.
