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.

Its tiny, how on earth how we to see it
Homosh, you're in need of tutoring or something...
Sun = bright
Venus = 0.001% of sun's surface area (when viewed today).
Therefore:
Sun = 99.999% bright.
GO. FIGURE.

all i can say is you've got to be some kind of complete idiot to go staring at the sun, whether there is a planet, a common house brick, or a black quilt cover in front of it.
looking at the sun at any time is harmful, just how harmful is irrelevant. And I find it incredibly unlikely that somebody actually died from staring at the sun for six minutes. if he/she did, they deserved to anyway, god damn retards.

I've heard a lot of scientists and experts talking about this all over the TV and the news papaers. If you think you're any better than them then the only thing you can do is: "Go to Hell"

Oh, you may all laugh, but I'm breaking out the anti-Triffid guns right now.
Bwahahaha.

I thought someone was going to say something along the lines of, "Because there's an eclipse"
You suprised me Azul, have a cookie. ;)

Yes, you fool!
The sun is only darkened by 0.001%- meaining it is essentially still as bright as normal.
A solar eclipse is alot darker... therefore less dangerous.

These quotes were taken from cnn.com:
"Everybody who intends to watch the Venus Transit in the sky is urged to read the dloowing information carefully!
All observations of objects in the sky that are located in the general direction of the Sun are DANGEROUS! Precautions must be taken to avoid damaging eyesight!
Observers of Mercury and Venus Transits should be aware that the safety code for these events is even more strict than for a solar eclipse. While the strong light from the Sun almost disappears during a total solar eclipse, the largest "darkening" of the Sun during the Venus transit is only about one-tenth of one percent (0.001)!"
Now shut up.
