Today starting from 6:14 A.M until 12:26 P.M it is extremely important not to look at the sun. This is because Venus will pass across the sun and it will prevent a small portion of sun rays from reaching earth. This phenomenon hadn't happened in 122 years. This phenomenon can be observed in The Middle East, Europe, Asia,Africa, and some parts of America, while it can not be observed in South America or Australlia.And the experts are warning from looking at the sun since the passage of Venus will not change the intensity of the light and therefore the rays will affect the eye,as looking directly at the sun damages the tissues of the eye retina and leads to chemical changes and the aglutenation of the proteins in the vitreous with the possiblity of the occurance of concentrated shading in the vision region and changing of colours and shapes of objects and slight weakness in the eye sight.
Page:
The increased risk of people being blinded by the Sun, when Venus passed by, was due to the simple fact that people would be more likely to look directly at the sun.
Oh and I've seen photos/pictures of the "unique astrological event" and it is soooooo boring. A small blob moves in front of a big hot blob for a bit. However, due to an ancient bylaw, I was allowed to sacrafice 50 sheep to make the Dragon go away.
Which was nice.

Seems to me that homosh has got his knickers in a mighty twist with this, and unless he can find a credible website that says this 'eclipse' INCREASES that damage to the eyes, then no one will believe him.

You. Fool.
I read the whole damn page, that's how I realised that there's no information about INCREASED risk during eclipses.
Taken from the same page:
"Even when 99% of the Sun's surface (the photosphere) is obscured during the partial phases of a solar eclipse, the remaining crescent Sun is still intense enough to cause a retinal burn"
This is what they are saying, you obviously can't comprehend what they are talking about.
1. Staring at the sun causes retinal burn.
2. When 99% of the photosphere is covered, it is still possible to get retinal burn.
Applying this to yesterday:
1. Staring at the sun causes retinal burn.
2. Venus covered 0.001% of the photosphere, meaning there was 99.999% of the photosphere remaining to burn your retinas.
There was no INCREASED risk of retina burn because Venus was crossing and making it 0.001% darker, it was because more people are LIKELY to stare at the sun.
The sun does not become more dangerous as Venus passes over it. GET IT IN YOUR HEAD.
And yes, this was taken from Newspapers, which you seem to have a fascination with. Oh, and that link you gave stated that Newspapers normally magnify the warning of an eclipse.... making it seem worse.
So, now do you see? You are the ignorant fool. Also realised how no-one has agreed with you.

It means that you are too stupid to realize that there is a difference between protection from sun rays in normal conditions and during eclipses.

Actually you're the one who keeps making assumptions without having any reliable sources. I didn't come up with any of this, I read in several books and newspapers, and it was all over TV, if you don't know about it then that's your problem.

Ahahahaha.
I can't believe you have the guts to call people ignorant, when you haven't realised that the page you linked to contains no information about increased damage to the eye during solar eclipses- especially increased UV radiation.
You, my friend, are obviously misinformed.

That reminds me. When looking at a solar eclipse, you have to use special glasses which act as a filter, you can not use normal glasses. Doesn't that mean anything to you ? Mostly everyone who didn't have any idea about what I'm talking about has been living in a cave for 100 years or so. I seriously recommend them to perform the following:
1-Learn how to read "News Papers".
2-Learn how to watch Television.
3-Learn to type the following in your browser: www.google.com
Oh by the way, when you've finished typing what you are searching for, don't forget to click on "Google Search".
4-Find some medication for being "Seriously Retarded"
5-Don't forget to cover yourself well with a blanket before you go to bed.
