You know you cant look directly at one?
Seriously, you have to have some special device thing, thats easy to make, just to look at it normally. I saw an eclipse when i was in Primary school once. It was pretty epic, most of the school was out on the playing field watching it as best they could without actually looking at it but its basically just the moon going infront of the sun. I have also seen another type of eclipse, i forget what it is called, where the moon actually turns red. Pretty awesome.
