A total eclipse is a rare thing. The last time people in Britain saw one was on 11 August 1999. However, there will be 56 partial or total eclipses between now and the year 2020. The safest way to look at an eclipse is to project the image on to a light surface with binoculars or a telescope, but without looking through the lenses directly. It is even dangerous to look at a partial eclipse. In the first place, if you don't look up at the sky, you won't realise it is happening, since your eyes get used to the lower level of light. And then people mistakenly think that since two-thirds of the Sun are covered, it will be alright to look at it.
