Surya Grahan: How to watch in India
People should use special eye protection or indirect viewing techniques and avoid looking directly at the solar eclipse with their naked eyes. The high-density light from the sun’s photosphere can permanently harm one’s retinas while viewing a solar eclipse up close.
One of the safest ways to view the solar eclipse is through indirect projection, although you can also use a telescope, pinhole camera, or camera display. The process may result in some damage to the camera display.
