What is important, or my goal, for you to see is that the eclipse doesn't "BOOM!" be an eclipse, at first a little bit of the sun is blocked by the moon, then more, then more, etc.
A total solar eclipse is rare because it is only visible from certain "perspectives" certain locations on earth. Most the viewers of this eclipse will see a partial eclipse.
This is a lucky picture!

Partial Eclipses, and the point to which an eclipse is total, are dangerous for your eyes. Any time you stare straight into the sun it is dangerous. The reason is you are burning your retina!!!
