On October 3rd, 1986, I saw my very first partial solar eclipse. Totality for that transit occurred in Greenland, so I missed it.
I was 12 years old at the time, and having not been provided with solar eclipse glasses, and not knowing any better, I stared directly at the Sun...for many minutes.
I can still see clearly, and I consider myself very, very lucky, but PLEASE use your best judgement and prudence when observing this spectacle.
Don't ruin your eyesight, please.
