It is NOT safe to look directly at the Sun without eye protection specialized for solar viewing, except during the brief total phase of a solar eclipse when the sun’s face is completely blocked by the moon.

Use safe solar viewing  glasses, (eclipse glasses) or  a safe handheld solar viewer  when watching the  eclipse  partial phases, and look away  periodically to rest your eyes.  

Regular sunglasses, no matter how dark, are NOT safe for viewing the Sun.
