Never look directly at the sun, experts remind stargazers
Original: Stargazing: Never look directly at the sun — unless it's from an Orbiting Solar Observatory
A stargazing column stresses the basic safety rule of astronomy: never look directly at the sun, since doing so can permanently damage your eyesight. The exception is the Orbiting Solar Observatory series of spacecraft, designed to study the sun from space without any risk to human eyes. The item mixes a reminder about safe viewing with a nod to the satellites that can observe the sun up close.
Why now: It is a recurring public-safety reminder about solar viewing that resurfaces whenever solar observation is in the news.
