Don't look at the sun kids...

I'm sure these standards are fine, but the basic lesson I learned many years ago was "Do not look directly at the sun" through sunglasses, smoked glass, filters or whatever. Things can go wrong - the wind blows the glasses off. Always view an eclipse or the full sun indirectly, by projection.
