eye disease caused by sun exposure (what Galileo contracted is on the list)
http://www.news-medical.net/news/2006/07/25/19056.aspx Websites downplaying the risk of sun exposure may have some serious liability issues. Erik I found a really interesting webpage about solar observing, one that
addresses a few myths that I admit I have also held for years. I recommend reading before tomorrow's eclipse, especially for those who will be interpreting the event for the public: http://mintaka.sdsu.edu/GF/vision/Galileo.html.
Have a great eclipse! (Even if you do go to Kanarravile.)
