Great, Tim, as usual. I rwmember a total eclipse of the sun in the early 1960's, and as a ten year old I was given a special piece of equipment to watch the event. My eyes were not impaired and I was in awe of what I saw.

Surely, more than 60 years later, we have equipment that we can give to school age children to watch the eclipse and trust them nor to look directly at the sun. I rememver being warned several times before the event of the danger of looking directly at the sun, without the protective lens.
